Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions
Hello, welcome to the podcast of health and healing in the areas of addiction and abuse, with Michael. My passion and interest started with becoming aware that many of us have childhood traumas that we carry into our adult lives, but we didn't have them addressed or never acknowledged that we had an addiction or a mental illness. Some of the abuses, we suffered were slight or verbal that we just wrote off, other abuses were kept in secret for many years. Now we want to expose those lie-based beliefs, through tools and partnering with the Holy Spirit to help us heal those traumas and Illnesses to become whole. Hurt people hurt people, so we must seek ways to heal so that we can assist others in their healing processes. Disclaimer: * I am not a doctor or professional therapist. However, I am licensed and an ordained Minister, who's interest was piqued as it related to my personal journey and struggles with addictions and abuses that found their way into every aspect of my life unknowingly. God knows I'm a work in progress. Come along as we heal together.

Does Healing apply to Grief? *CAUTION* check your radio dial before listening.
Grief is difficult enough. "What is it like to grieve after you have healed?"
Several questions may arise from those who are grieving. And many attempt to answer the question compassionately. Sure, we want the bereaved to feel whole and well again. Please be aware, it is important to acknowledge and be familiar with grief and the process of grief. We all grieve differently.
Each of us must go through the process of the death of a loved one and can go through the 5 dimensions of grief: intellectual, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual. Also, most losses are traumatic. While you're dealing with the transition of the loved one, you too are suffering trauma.
The concept of well-being or wholeness suits the evolving but never-ending grief process. Just because you may feel better doesn't mean you're healed. Please know grief can be a lifelong process—yet we live through the gifts of memories, the fun times, and the laughter the deceased had with us. If you seek closure, you may find it, depending on the level of love. Closure may never arrive.
Does healing apply to grief?
Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral physical and mental health issues. It is especially hard if you are dealing with other personal, work, relationship, or family-related issues. It is okay to ask for help.
