#13 – Healing Styles: Knowing your learning style can help you break down barriers to healing.

The Wendy M. Johnson Show

Healing Styles: Knowing your learning style can help you break down barriers to healing.

Unsure of your healing style? Here’s what you need to know.

There’s a phrase that gets left out of the conversation regarding the healing journey that can hold you back.

The phrase I’m referring to is ‘healing style.’ Ok, I made up the phrase but the reason this is important to know is because at the entry point of healing, or starting up again, or if you feel stuck, knowing your learning style can serve you by helping you have a breakthrough.

But what is your healing style? It means in what way do you learn best?

If you believe healing is a personal and private matter, chances are going to a support group for community encouragement is not going to be a comfortable choice for you. Even the thought of a one-on-one therapist or coach is too overwhelming.

So, you don’t move forward thinking these are your only choices. But you desire to heal and learn and overcome. Your healing style might prefer reading a healing program or joining a self-study program so you can learn in your own private space.

It’s all about breaking down the barriers that are holding you back. Not knowing your healing style can be holding you back from progressing.

The question is what is your healing style?

And that’s what today’s episode is all about. Finding out your healing style can be the breakthrough you are looking for. So today, I’m going to walk you through different styles to help you find a way to make the process a little be easier for you.

#12: HEALing Unapologetically

The Wendy M. Johnson Show

The Desire to HEAL, The Decision to HEAL, and The Power to HEAL.

Can you imagine Healing Unapologetically and creating a new life story for yourself?

In this episode I will cover the desire to HEAL, the decision to HEAL, and the power to HEAL.

As a survivor of sexual abuse, what does your future look like? Are you in the same spot you have been in for years or do you see a better life?

I have met survivors who cannot image living a life where healthy relationships exist. They don’t trust anyone and don’t believe they heal.

But what about that ‘silent whisper’ in your heart that is yearning for change and recovery. That ‘silent whisper’ is desire. Desire, in a sense is the catalyst for healing propelling you towards actions and the best decisions that will lead you towards your path to wholeness.

What are some of your desires?

Having a clear focus on what you are trying to accomplish will help you make decisions that will move you closer towards that vision. Having a clear focus is crucial to healing unapologetically.

The power to heal is about reclaiming a sense of control in your life.

Today’s podcast episode is to help you understand how to HEAL Unapologetically. You’ll hear about:

- [2:46] At its core, desire signifies more than just longing and craving, it embodies a deep-seeded yearning for change and recovery.

- [4:53] Desire is more than a wish, it is a dynamic force, a declaration that you can shape your own future life.

- [8:53] The decision to HEAL unapologetically is about having a clear focus of what you want. The decision to HEAL unapologetically, at its core, is a decision to embrace change.

- [16:27] The Power to HEAL is rarely about grand gestures, rather it is the accumulation of small, consistent steps that gradually change your mindset and the actions you take and the decisions you make.

So, if you have the Desire to HEAL, want to make some Decisions to HEAL, and want to learn about the Power to HEAL unapologetically, creating your new life story, then this episode will help give you some ideas on what you can do. 👏

Listen in, get ready to take some notes, and learn how to HEAL Unapologetically! 🎧
