Dear Son, I’m Afraid To Heal | 10 Reasons | The DSP Ep 12

Dear Son, I'm afraid to heal. This was a very sobering topic for me to address. I had to admit that not only was I broken in many ways, but I was comfortable in that state because I was afraid of what healing required from me. Selfish? Most certainly. However, I don't think that I'm the only man that has some aversion to the healing process. I do not like the unknown. I do not like not being in control. I do not like changing while it feels like the world is watching. But change, I must. Do you embrace change in general? More specifically, how eager are you to heal when it requires some uncomfortable work to get there? These are my top 10 reasons why I'm afraid to heal. I'd love to know if any of them resonate with you.

Sometimes those feelings weren’t nurtured as a child. 3.  Healing makes me uncomfortable. 4.  Healing removes excuses that once allowed me to operate at my lowest frequency (lower self). 5.  Healing hurts those around me. 6.  Healing looks silly to others, and I’d rather be cool than be complete. 7.  Healing takes a commitment that has no specific duration ( 8.  Healing requires me to surrender control. 9.  Healing brings clarity, and I may not like what I see. Healing raises the standard by which I must abide in all areas of my life. https://thedearsonpodcast.com Support the pod by supporting our sponsors: Johns & Co Apparel: https://johnsandcompany.co Love Kisha J Studios: https://etsy.com/shop/LoveKishaJStudios Let’s connect socially: https://instagram.com/thedearsonpodcast https:// twitter.com/dearsonpodcast https://facebook.com/thedearsonpodcast The three pillars of the DSP Community? 1.  Reveal trauma 2.  Heal from trauma 3.  Help through stories “Better Man.
