“Healing is about choices—choices to treat or not to treat, to choose one type of intervention over another, or to choose one method of treatment in conjunction with another. One choice does not eliminate all other possibilities. You can choose and choose again. The most important choice is the decision to heal; all else follows.”

“Healing is comparable to a garden. It needs tended to on a consistent basis. For weeds to be pulled out. The garden needs water and sunshine in effort to grow. Like a lotus flower, you will sprout through the soil, reaching up through the dark water towards the sunlight, stretching to the surface where you will beautifully bloom.”

“Healing is essential for lasting change. ...healing is a transformation, not just a quick fix; a change from an inhibited or impaired state to one of greater health, integration and connection. What was damaged must be soothed, repaired, restored, and given new pathways in which to grow and flourish. In order for change to be thorough, old patterns need to be dissolved, and new, more coherent and refined constructs, formed. In creating coherency in new forms, what has become fragmented or separated, injured or diseased must be made whole again, or perhaps made whole for the first time.”

“Healing is like a twisty pretzel, it's never linear. The process of healing is not something we need to be seeing as a staircase (one step higher after the other); but we need to see it as a part of life, an element of life, which is exactly what it is. Today you'll be better, tomorrow you'll be out of control, the next day you might be worse than that, and after that you'll be on top all over again. Like a pretzel. And there's salt all over it, too! But that's just like all other processes we go through, because life is a dance all over the dance floor; it's not an elevator ride. It's not one floor after the other. I mean, if it were that way then it wouldn't be worth living, would it? So, the next time you feel like you're losing your battle, remember that it's all about the salty pretzel: and at the end of the day, the pretzel is gonna be good. And you're gonna have a coke to wash it down. And you're gonna be okay.”

“Healing is not a straight and narrow road that leads from darkness to light. There's no sudden epiphany to take us from despair to serenity, no orchestrated steps to move us from hurting to healed. Healing is a winding mountain road with steep climbs and sudden descents, breathtaking views and breath-stealing drop-offs, dark tunnels and blinding exposures, dead ends and endless backtracks, rest stops and break downs, sheer rock walls and panoramic vistas. Healing is a journey with no destination, because healing is the journey of every lifetime.”

“Healing is not a straight line. We often envision recovery as a steady progression from pain to wellness, but the actual path is more like a winding trail through a forest. ... But healing, whether physical or emotional, honours its own timeline. ... Acknowledging pain gives it space to transform. ... None of these actions are signs of weakness. They are evidence of feeling deeply and choosing to heal honestly”

“Healing is not just a quick fix. It's more like a lifelong journey. Every stumble and every setback is part of the growth process. And here's the beautiful thing: along this journey, you'll organically meet uplifting souls who'll walk beside you, offering support, encouragement, & love. They'll remind you that you're not alone, that you're stronger than you think, & that every step forward is a victory in itself. So, take your time, be kind to yourself, and trust in the process.”
