One of the myths we believe about being healed is that, in order to be healed, the emotions that we used to feel when we were broken must disappear. It's as if we think that if we feel any of those things, then we must not be healed. That couldn't be more of a lie.The goal of "healing" isn't to make our shame, guilt, regret, anger, hate, depression, etc., or any of the other emotions that we felt when we were broken, go away. The goal of "healing" is to be able to confront those things and respond appropriately, in a whole, healed way.Our inner critic gets very loud about this subject, and even louder once people who are connected to our lives, in one way or another, begin to chime in.
