Summary

Healing is not just about what happens to us, but also about how we choose to communicate our experiences, both to ourselves and to others. The stories we tell ourselves—about past pain, trauma, or failures—are powerful, and they shape our reality. But have you ever considered how the way we communicate these stories to ourselves can affect our ability to heal? When we rely on certain mediums, like self-talk or journaling, the way we present the message to ourselves can either block or facilitate healing. By shifting our internal communication methods, we can alter the message and, consequently, the way we process our emotions and experiences.   In this episode, we explore the profound connection between the medium of communication and personal healing. Whether it’s through art, writing, meditation, or conversations with loved ones, the medium we use can impact how we perceive and internalize the messages we’re telling ourselves. How do we shift our narrative from one of pain and defeat to one of empowerment and resilience? By considering the ways different mediums influence the healing process, we can find new tools to transform the messages that hold us back. Tune in as we discuss how changing the medium can help rewrite the message of healing in our lives.   * * * Episode Links and References Exodus 24, 31-34 Deuteronomy 9:9–19 Psalm 106:19–23    . . . . .

0:29.8

You know, for you, the most beautiful listeners in the world out there, I just want to say that, and we've talked about this a bit in some other episodes, but, you know, when we record these podcasts, we try to carve out enough time for Kurt and Amy and I to have our, have connecting time. And, you know, frankly, a lot of the work that we're doing is very similar to, I mean, it's the work that we're doing.

We're doing the work together.

And so, so we often carve that time out.
