There are times when you
think there is no answer; that help is not available; that
freedom from suffering is just not forthcoming
—at least not
for you.
They say healing is an
inside job; indeed self-healing is a
matter of connecting the
dots and reworking your understanding of who you really are.
It’s a process of realization rather than
just a speedy elimination
of symptoms. In fact the symptoms
are themselves paths
inward.
Whether or not your
physical symptoms are resolved, the
issues they present
are often the peaks and valleys of unmet needs. They refer to painful
beliefs about yourself, your history and future. Symptoms
are spokes of a wheel meant to guide
you inward toward the hub.
They are the latest elements in
a new self-understanding
struggling to take shape. They are
in fact
pointing you where you want to go, because in the
midst of painful losses, you
often lose the keys to your own self-understanding.
This book will show you
how to make new maps—ones you
can use for a lifetime. Whether
you are struggling with physical
or emotional trauma, overwhelming
losses, a life-threatening illness, or financial collapse, you
can find renewal, if not full recovery. The raw materials
of healing, if not curing, are already
in you. It’s time to go on
that archaeological dig; it’s time to discover what you are
really made of and to forge a new self
out of the detritus of
the past.
