We have long believed that only people with unique gifts and power can heal us. When someone says that only we can truly heal ourselves, it sounds both empowering and hard to believe.
Can we heal ourselves? How?! You might wonder like me.
Marshall Rosenburg, the founder of nonviolent communication, believed people could heal themselves. He said he couldn’t heal people but help them connect with themselves.
Connection heals, whether it’s self-connection or connecting with others. When we break down our busy days and triggering events to the nuances and moments, we get to embrace our thoughts, feelings, needs, and longing.
Empathy isn’t just a rough idea of connection but healing oneself with love and nurture from moment to moment.
