Having healthy boundaries not only requires being able to say “no”, but also being willing and able to enforce that “no” when necessary.

True healing, just like all growth, requires being willing to work our edge of discomfort.

True emotional healing doesn't happen without feeling. The only way out is through.

Our approach to modern health care focuses so much on removing symptoms, that we’ve learned to equate immediate relief with healing. But healing is much more than simply feeling better in the moment; it requires true transformation, and transformation is rarely comfortable.

By healing the parts of ourselves that are frozen in the past, we are able to bring them back into the present - and each time we do this we become less fragmented, and more whole.

Emotional healing requires more than simply changing how you feel. Your emotions are merely symptoms of the problem - not the problem itself. Even when they hurt.

Behind every trigger is a wound in our past.

Withdrawing and shutting down in response to life is just another way of getting triggered, and it is no more mature or healthy than emotionally over-reacting.

When our past wounds get reactivated over and over again in our lives, they can throw our emotions seriously out of balance.
