The Power of Healing in Community

The Missing Link in Sustainable Self-Healing
I shifted my focus and approach to one of COMMUNITY and SUPPORT. Let me share why this transformation has changed everything about how I approach healing - both for myself and those I serve.
Breaking Free from the Solo Healing Cycle
I know a lot of people think that effective healing and self-care comes from digging in and doubling down doing more and better. Or that it means taking on all the responsibility on your own as a way to be accountable for your own healing. Not to mention, I know a lot of people feel that healing needs to be a private thing because it can feel quite vulnerable.
And there's validity to all of this - some parts absolutely must be kept private and we must be responsible for choosing our own healing...but healing & self-care, like most human things, are not an ALL or NOTHING experience.
"My greatest personal progress came when I finally stopped trying to do it on my own and I started engaging in community supported healing."
Why Community Healing Outperforms Solo Self-Care
There are therapists, healers, and coaches who are trauma-informed, safe, and confidential for this type of private, individualized healing work. AND there is also so much you can gain from healing in community. BOTH statements are true, and both paths can be beneficial...especially when combined.
Taking both a private, individual AND a community approach to healing is ideal...except that it isn't always accessible to everyone, another reason why I shifted my focus more on community healing - to make it more accessible to more people.
"Community supported healing doesn't require you share your deepest pain, wounds, or fears with everyone to be effective...it's likely that someone else will do just this and that you'll see a bit of yourself in their story."
The Power of Shared Experience
Healing in community allows you to go DEEP into your healing process without having to dig deep into pain or feel it deeply. Community support provides you with:
➡️ The strength to face the process and the parts of yourself that have been deeply buried within your subconscious
➡️ The stamina to keep going beyond any setbacks
➡️ The capacity to recover faster if/when you do face setbacks or discomfort along the way
➡️ New perspectives of yourself, of healing, and of the world through the lens of other people's stories and experiences
From Temporary Fix to Lasting Change
I made this shift toward community supported healing and self-care because even with all the training, advanced training, tools, skills, certifications, and experience I have over the past 15 years I've been helping people heal... all my effort still felt like a temporary fix or a bandaid.
"I had heard that self-care really ought to be community care but until I fully immersed myself into community supported healing, I didn't really understand the depth of significance!"
I had to work SO HARD only for the results of my effort not to last. It felt like a neverending cycle of effort that led right back into the same old patterns and setbacks. I know a LOT of people struggle with this just like I did!
What does this mean for your healing journey? It means:
✔️ Deeper, more sustainable healing and making progress like never before
✔️ Restoring comfort and flow faster when things stall or get off track
✔️ Being able to see the end goal and get to it faster
✔️ Sustainable, highly effective healing, self-care, and self-improvement that FEELS and IS POSSIBLE!
That's why I created a healing and self-care supportive community for self-healers like you who want to feel better and live better, and are driven to take action to do so!
