Feel it to heal it

Lesson two. Feel it to heal it. Name what happened, feel it, and let it move through you. Healing means letting a hard experience be felt, understood and accepted, until it stops running your choices. The step most of us skip is the feeling. A feeling felt fully moves like a wave: it rises, peaks and passes. A feeling held back stays stuck. Letting it move isn't weakness. It's the doorway out. Why it matters. What moves through you becomes understanding, a kind of wisdom general knowledge can't match. It's the raw material of an authentic voice. For example. Letting yourself grieve a business that closed, instead of saying "it's fine" for two years. Or: Admitting you were angry about being passed over, and feeling it, so it stops leaking into meetings. Where this leads. It turns what you saw in the last lesson from a memory into something you've moved through. Hold on to this. Feeling it fully is not weakness. It's the doorway out.
