Healing is non-linear, not particularly pretty, frustrating at times, and can feel like its 'not working'. If this is happening to you please remember that it is not ALL of you that feels this way. The part of you that is attached to the habit or behavior that you want to change is in need of compassion and understanding. Its really important to acknowledge where change IS happening even if it seems slight or infrequent. Hypnosis is an incredible tool for habit change and the effects are long lasting and continue to evolve.I invite you to experience the shifts for yourself.Book a single custom hypnosis session.Book an Alcohol Awareness Breakthrough Session (specifically for people who want to heal from Alcohol Use Disorder).Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/mindful-drinking-for-women/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

It's critical that respect is given to anyone who struggles with a symptom, an illness, a mystery condition or any kind of health struggle.

Everyone has the GOD GIVEN right to heal. This right is ours, yours, and every human being's that lives on Earth. Knowing this and understanding that you can and will heal can move you forward to succeeding in your healing process. In this episode… • Learn about the massive misunderstanding out there when it comes to being sick. • Learn about the wisdom that resides deep down within a person's soul. • Discover how old a soul can be and the wisdom that chronic illness can bring. • Uncover the power in knowing that there is a track record of people in the community healing their symptoms. • Learn about the soul's gold and gem and jewels that you carry inside of you. • Discover the difference in spiritual strength between those who have and have not struggled and suffered. • Learn about your God-given right to heal. • Discover why your body needs faith and discover the strength that your faith can have. • Uncover what can happen when you recover from being sick.

My new book, "The Healing Path, Part One: Stay Present" is the first of a transformative three-part series where I explore the first three of ten stepping stones that have been pivotal in my healing. The episode invites you to understand how these steps can universally apply to various forms of loss, not just those of loved ones, but also careers and relationships.

Episode #192. I so loved this talk with Michelle because she has a very clear and profound message around the narrative related to the mental health care system and the language around the bipolar diagnosis. Since over the summer of 2023 I have been moving in a new direction with Louder Now and I have been using the language around healing which is something Michelle has been saying to. She is a excellent communicator and I highly suggest you check out her resources on her website related to healing your bipolar. Thank you Michelle for being a guest! Michelle's BIO: Having been diagnosed with bipolar in 1998, Michelle spent the next 12 years on a roller coaster of manic and depressive episodes with therapists, doctors, psychotropic meds, hospitalizations, and suicide attempts. She was at her wit's end and felt humiliated, hopeless and lost. In particular, she was devastated by the toll it took on her family-her husband and small children. Finally, she and her psychiatrist found a solution that became a turning point in her story. She began the process of developing an integrated method for understanding this devastating disorder and successfully treating it. Michelle advocates for a radical shift in the treatment of bipolar to facilitate healing and recovery. She is all about accepting responsibility for yourself and overcoming the victimhood mentality that so often accompanies bipolar disorder. She teaches an integrated, research-based treatment model that addresses the underlying causes of bipolar symptoms and allows people to heal.

Episode DescriptionWelcome to a new season. Staying on the Healing Path starts the new season by sharing with you tips to help you stay on the healing journey. We often think of the healing journey as linear, but it tends to have ebbs, flows, and cycles, even though we move forward overall if we stay on the path. This episode discusses the nature of the healing journey, how the natural progression of healing is three steps forward and two steps back, and how we can approach the healing path with the right mindset. Then the podcast discusses how to deal with inevitable interruptions of our healing practice by discussing how we should approach setbacks, slacking, and obstacles on the journey and our daily practice, as they are a natural part of the path. Lastly, we discuss how to customize your daily practice to your unique nature, needs, situation, and changing experience to help you take the journey with a healthy, constructive, and realistic approach to taking a step toward the healing God can give you every day. We just need to show up. Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro to New Episode and Season4:54 The Nature of the Healing Journey7:01 Natural Challenges, Ebbs, and Shifts on the Healing Path  12:00 Dealing with Interruptions on the Healing Journey16:42 What Is the Best Daily Practice for You?25:18 Future Episodes of the Podcast SourcesThere are no sources for this podcast.  Christian Emotional Recovery ResourcesPodcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry Donate One-Time Through Ko-FiHelp More Trauma Survivors Throu...

This week's Mind Your Health podcast is a special one. I interviewed my colleague and friend Aaron, who is a successful entrepreneur. He's special because it took many years for him to finally understand the "root" cause of his mysterious symptoms and go within to uncover the hidden traumas that many of us unknowingly struggle with.  When traumas and emotional events happen to us throughout our life, the effects of these events become "stuck" in our nervous system and influence the outcomes in our lives, including our health. Whether it's a breakup, divorce, the death of a loved one, job loss, financial struggles, family issues, etc., we all experience losses and hardships, which makes us all human. Yet even though the event has passed, so many of us hold onto the memory of it, which unconsciously determines our future. And this is why many people tend to "relive" the past over and over again. This is why I consider Yoga a powerful tool to heal ourselves from the inside-out because it reflects our mind back to us, allowing us to process, metabolize, and let go of circumstances and events that don't serve our well-being. Being aware of our tendencies to stay stuck in the past or project fear onto the future keeps us in a loop of suffering and misery.   You don't want to miss this powerful episode where we uncover the depths of the human mind with authenticity and vulnerability to find our inner power.

Transiting Chiron in Aries will make a rare exact conjunction to the transiting North Node at 16 deg 45 Aries, exact on Feb 19, but it has been building since late December when Chiron stationed direct and will continue into eclipse season. Chiron has already been traveling through this area of your chart, but now a new fated opening occurs with the North Node conjunction that opens up a fresh area of your self-identity, healing journey, and how you are learning to trust yourself now. Chiron will continue on to make an exact conjunction to the Aries Solar Eclipse at 19 deg 24 on April 8, igniting more self-awareness that you perhaps pushed away when you were younger or at a lower level of consciousness. The healing path is paying off if you've been committed to your internal work, or it may activate what still needs to be resolved and claimed if there has been a lack of self-responsibility. More to share in this podcast episode.   The Nodes of Fate move through Aries and Libra from July 2023 to January 2025, bringing energy and focus to where you are ready to grow into more of your true self.

Episode #181. Quiet desperation. All the signs of the universe and God's master plan come down to this very real and special moment. Either move forward or turn away and hide.

As survivors, we understand the experience of being wronged and the desire to make a positive impact in the world. With so much happening at this moment, it can feel overwhelming. However, one effective tool we have in our fight for a better future is activism. By standing up for our values within our local community, we can create meaningful change. In this episode of 'Initiated Survivor', we explore the role of activism in the healing process for trauma survivors. We discuss how engaging in collective actions that align with our personal values can foster a sense of community and serve as a powerful tool for change and recovery. I also provide various strategies for incorporating activism into our recovery journey, such as connecting with long-term goals, emphasizing community-building, and supporting local organizations that make a tangible impact on our daily lives.

Ep. 109 (Part 2 of 2) | Dr. James Finley, clinical psychologist, trauma specialist, scholar, poet, and author of the powerful memoir, The Healing Path, has an extraordinary breadth and depth of understanding about trauma and the alchemical effects of adding a depth dimension to therapy. Here, he shares about his own experience of trauma and healing, the therapeutic effects of introducing the depth dimension to his clients, the dynamics of anger and forgiveness, the path of longing, and how love gives itself away in the preciousness of each moment, rendering ordinary life sacred. James' profound understanding of grace is unmistakable, beautiful, riveting—both from personal experience and as a student of Thomas Merton, who introduced him to the wisdom of the mystics at the Trappist monastery, Gethsemani.Practically everything James says is both a poem and a revelation, so whether you are Christian, Buddhist, or atheist, this conversation offers a therapeutic wisdom and understanding of trauma that goes way beyond the norm, as well as a transmission of infinite love, bottomless mercy. At the end, James laughs at how he is talking: “I can't believe I'm talking like this…a traumatized kid from Akron, Ohio. It's not coming from me; it's flowing through me. All I'm doing is passing on what was passed on to me. So as it catches fire in you, it might pass through you into others.” Recorded August 17, 2023.“Each person I meet is an infinitely loved broken person.”(For Apple Podcast users, click here to view the complete show notes on the episode page.)Topics & Time Stamps – Part 2A story about the root broken place: Is there an end to love?

How has your past uniquely prepared you to experience more joy? In today's replay of one of my favorite episodes, Dr. Dan Allender and I explore this question in an insightful conversation about healing the heart from trauma, rewriting the broken stories we adopt as children, and the overlap with the Enneagram.   Professor of counseling psychology at The Seattle School and founder of The Allender Center, Dr. Dan Allender has pioneered a unique therapy centered around his innovative theory and training in transforming betrayal, ambivalence, and powerlessness into faith, hope, and love. He's a popular podcaster on The Allender Center Podcast and the author of Healing the Wondered Heart, The Wounded Heart, The Healing Path, To Be Told and God Loves Sex, and Redeeming Heartache: How Past Suffering Reveals Our True Calling.
