Healing Through Community: Why You Don’t Need to Be Fully Healed to Be Loved [Solo Episode]

Listen Later

For many of us, hurt oftentimes happens in relationship to other people. Therefore, healing needs to happen in community as well. For the halfway point of our healing series, I’m exploring a statement that was introduced to us in last week’s episode — that healing often happens in community.

In this solo episode, I’m examining why being in community is such a significant, effective healing modality, why we don’t need to be perfectly healed to be loved, and ways we can cultivate healing in our immediate and broader communities.

I also talk about…

  • The Summer Solstice Journaling Reset, a 5-day journaling challenge.
  • Why healing is not a prerequisite for receiving love or support.
  • How being in a supportive community can be incredibly therapeutic.
  • Why being in community is an effective healing modality.
  • Ways we can cultivate healing in our relationships and communities.
