Transformational Journaling for Healing Souls--Part II

Transformational Journaling for Healing Souls--Part II
There are four stages of healing in the Transformational Journaling for Healing Souls (TJ for HS) process.

Stage 1 = Past trauma healing for recovering souls
Stage 2 = Current issues healing for recovered souls
Stage 3 = Couple/relationship healing for recovered souls
Stage 4 = Parent/family healing for recovered souls

Today, let's focus on Stage 1. Healing past trauma for recovering souls is an individual journey. During this stage, you are learning to understand the trauma experience and how it impacted you. This is the place where you take a step back to see how you responded to the trauma experience. Then, you learn to place the trauma experience in perspective to re-create your life of choice from this point forward.

During Stage 1, you are healing the emotional and physical wounds that keep you from being your true self. You are learning to trust yourself and your feelings to guide you to take responsibility for creating the rest of your life. You are stepping beyond the trauma to a life of your choice. As you complete this portion of your journey, you are preparing yourself to be in charge of your life as it occurs day to day.

Next, we will look at Stage 2. This is the stage where you apply the skills you learned in Stage 1 to your present-day life.

Until then,

Have a peaceful day,
