Hello Friends,
Emily Lamoureux will interview me tomorrow at 10 am Mountain / 12 pm Eastern time on IG. Look for the Trauma Informed Astrology or her Healing with Emily channels. The recording will also be available for a bit if you don’t get there for the live.
We recently completed a great conversation and discussion around What is Healing as we work on the Level Two (part one) Trauma Informed Astrology course. Here are some highlights:
Healing is not being Fixed – we do not get sewn up, we are not free of trauma reminders, we are not done with being triggered. Having expectations like these can be a problem – you will definitely be disappointed.
I have heard people say, “I went through three years of therapy, so that issue is behind me.” If so, that is awesome! But what usually happens is, whether a week or a month later, they will be disappointed. “Aww shucks! I paid all that money for therapy and I’m not healed!” But what about all the insights and nuance you now have access to?
Rather, healing is expanding our capacity, it is having greater compassion for ourselves, after we do good work on ourselves, it will take a stronger trigger to set us off, or at least we will bring more consciousness to the process.
Healing is having greater compassion. When we start to see and own our stuff, taking ownership is very important, then we can discuss it, admit it – “that hurt a lot!” Healing is moving toward intentional vulnerability. It means being honest about our feelings and our needs. Healing is being human. Healing is asking for support.
We hope you can attend tomorrow!!
