Whispers for Healing

Finding one’s way through the therapist’s door is on the heels of first making the decision to begin one’s healing journey, an integral step that can transform a life. Both steps, deciding and then walking into the therapist’s office for the first time, add momentum toward claiming one’s life back from the woundings that may have brought confusion, pain, stagnation, and what can feel like dire straits.

At times, one may find that it’s when life’s hope has seemingly been stripped of its positive prospects and is replaced with what may feel like chains of negativity and repeated pain, that hope feels lost and unattainable.  And when one begins to believe that there is the smallest shred of hope, this little piece of light within can be hugely transformative and grow in depth and strength with time.

What may be only teeny specks of this hope-filled light can come in many forms within just a mere moment of one’s experience if one is intentionally watchful and receives this gift with an open heart and mind.  It’s these moments of hope that can potentially guide one back to the light within oneself that has been dimmed from what may be many-a-wounding, sometimes to the point of feeling like one is unrecognizable to oneself and to others.

The key to one’s healing may be found when acknowledging and owning the hope-filled moments that can seemingly come out-of-the-blue and speak with positive whispers, ready to be claimed and fully embraced.  Dare to discover the treasures of hope that come in the unexpected moments and breathe them in until they take hold within.  It’s with hope that whispers for healing can take root within.
