on suffering and healing

dialogues for understanding

The healing of our mental turmoils is a journey of making meaning of who we are. Because our sense of self is by nature relational, understanding ourselves needs to happen in relationships and helpful conversations. I hold space for such dialogues online and offline, to help those faced with emotional challenges engage self-exploration, understanding, and growth.

ON SUFFERING AND HEALING

MENTAL HEALTH  //  NOVEMBER 1, 2021

​What is healing in a psychological sense? Is it to not feel any emotional pain and only experience happiness? Is it to stop suffering all at once and achieve an "I'm all good" state of mind? Relying on my personal and clinical experiences and drawing wisdom from a Jungian therapist Helen Luke, I hope to share a perspective helpful to those contemplating this question.
