Healing

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Healing is a life-renewing and lifegiving process that addresses our wounds in the context of our whole person. No matter how badly we have been hurt, our wounds never become all we are, nor are they the only object of our healing; our whole person is. Healing addresses our "brokenness," yes, but always remembering our wholeness.

As scars and memories are a part of healing, so is new strength and courage. Surviving is a vital part of healing and it can lead to thriving. Healing does not bring us back to the way of living we had before our abuse. It leads us to integrity and wholeness through which we can live our lives today. Healing is not a "thing" that repairs, fixes, or glues us together. Healing is a continuing process whch deepens, expands and opens us to life.
