Are You Truly Healing or Stuck in Endless “Recovery?” Ep. 336

“How long will I be in trauma recovery?”

Whether we’re in therapy or working on our issues through self help books and podcasts, we often wonder, will I EVER truly heal from this wound?

Elliott and I wanted to address this important concern—especially because Elliott recently received this exact question from a listener.

Shortly thereafter, he stumbled upon a Keith Crossley reel speaking to this. Keith Crossley’s work is new to us—so we can’t vouch for all his viewpoints—but his perspective on what’s required for healing vs. recovery resonated with our philosophy.

Specifically, we consider:
* When we “own” our trauma and it becomes part of our core identity.
* The limitations inherent to a victim mentality vs. the possibilities of an empowered mindset!
* Why some counselors may unwittingly prolong clients’ recovery.
* What antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds actually do (spoiler alert: they DON’T heal!)
* God’s word to those hurting and trying to heal i.e. ALL of us!
