Witness to Healing
Oct 14, 2019
Over the past several weeks I have been privileged to witness some powerful examples of healing in relationships.
One example was of a couple working through incredibly difficult pain of betrayal. Both of them were incredibly brave in being transparent here in my office about their pain and regret. The cool thing is that they had been developing skills to keep anger at bay and therefore be able to stick with what needed to be healed. The shift in their attachment was palpable. It was an honour to be a part of that.
There are a couple of other examples that happened but the common denominators were grace and humility. Pride was now allowed in the room! Pride is not an agent of healing but humbleness and being gracious is. When people agree to not deflect and defend, and then to "hold" the other's pain, much is gained.
