Episode 48: Dispelling Healing Myths - A Journey of Compassion and Understanding

Shamans After Dark

Have you ever wondered why healing seems so elusive, so nonlinear? You're not alone. In our latest episode, we are here to demystify the complexities of the healing journey. We're pulling back the curtain on this ongoing process, underscoring the importance of revisiting old wounds and addressing our society's lack of grief support. Let's debunk the myth that healing is a one-time magical fix and explore its true nature—an enduring journey demanding tools, support, and understanding.
But it's not just about acknowledging the healing process, there's another crucial ingredient—self-compassion. We're diving into the transformative power of treating yourself with kindness and understanding, drawing from insights by experts such as Dr. Kristin Neff and Sarah Peyton. We'll be talking about the discomfort that inevitably arises during healing and how vital it is to sit with these feelings rather than letting them feed negative narratives. Finally, hear how keeping a healing journal and reflecting on your personal journey can keep you accountable. Remember, your journey toward healing begins with self-compassion and personal accountability. Join us, and let's embark on this journey together.
