Υou Can't Heal What You Can't Feel

Welcome to this new video series! I’m Lida Sportel, licensed psychotherapist and Functional Medicine Practitioner. I have decided to do these series of Inspirations for Whole Wellness to inspire you & help you return to Whole Wellness 🥰

I used to run a group in a domestic violence shelter. We talked a lot about emotions and the trauma that they were going through and how to process that through psychotherapeutic techniques. 🌸

One of the things that I remember discussing with that group is this quote: “You can't heal what you can't feel.”

What does that mean? If I’m looking to heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, sickness, whatever it is that each person is struggling with... You can't heal if you don't allow yourself to feel it. 💜

A lot of the people are running from feeling it, they are fixing or ignoring it. They do things to distract themselves from it. It doesn't work like that. Look where we're at in our world. 🙄

It's because we're not allowing the wisdom, the feeling and the heart within us to process things. And when we process things, we look at those things that have been holding us back. We take a moment to just feel that feeling and not be afraid of that. Even if it's pain, trauma or whatever we allow that to be. 💫

I have created a formula to guide you safely in this process: check out my program Break Free Mind where I walk you step by step in doing this. 👇

Can you take a moment to realize that the solution is not out there? The solution is not to run from what is, it is not to try to avoid these uncomfortable feelings and numb them with alcohol, drugs, food and TV and whatever. The solution is within. 🌟

And if we can get strong enough to be with ourselves and be with the pain, the fear, the anger and the trauma we will rise even stronger from that. 💪

I want to invite you to consider this and we'll talk more about all these concepts. So, stay tuned. 😊
