02. Mapping healing: what “trust the process” really means

Light and Shadow: the podcast

We’ve all heard someone say, “Trust the process,” or “it’s all part of the process,” or some variation of these. When I was younger, I used to wonder, “what does that even mean?!” Life can seem to give you mixed signals, and depending on who you ask, you can end up going in infinite different directions. In this episode, I really wanted to break down my version of what trusting the process really means. I broke down the healing journey into six key steps, which I’ll be exploring in this mini series “Mapping Healing.” Before I get into each step on a deeper level, I wanted to provide a general overview of what the healing journey can look like for so many people. While what each step will entail and what work needs to be done will differ from person to person, I have found that most people who have found their way to freedom have trudged along this loosely defined path in some way. Come along with me as I show you the way through the darkness by illuminating step-by-step what’s to come. **side note** I realized I mistakenly said “behavioral sensations” in place of “bodily sensations.” The latter is correct!
