Unlocking Your Potential for Healing and Growth
Episode Overview
Living regulated by the Spirit can help achieve personal and spiritual growth. The 'window of tolerance' helps understand nervous system regulation. Past traumas can limit current capacities; awareness can aid healing. Community support is crucial for achieving goals and healing. Practical steps include self-awareness and letting go of judgment.
Most of us don't sin because we're being bad or rebellious. We often sin because we're just dysregulated.
How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? This episode of the Strong Tower Mental Health podcast, hosted by Heidi Mortenson, offers a fresh perspective on expanding our capacity for reaching goals and healing. Heidi, a licensed marriage and family therapist, shares her insights on how living regulated by the Spirit can help us achieve personal and spiritual growth.
She explores the fascinating interplay between neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and Scripture, drawing on Romans 7 and 8 to illustrate her points. Listeners are taken on a journey that challenges the traditional notion of trying harder to reach goals. Instead, Heidi suggests that becoming safer and more in tune with the Spirit can unlock our potential.
She introduces the concept of the 'window of tolerance,' a term from neuroscience that describes the range within which our nervous system can remain regulated and present. With a blend of humour and authenticity, Heidi invites listeners to consider how past traumas and stresses may have shaped their current limitations. By increasing awareness and letting go of judgment, she believes we can gradually expand our capacity for healing and achieving our dreams.
The episode also highlights the importance of community support and honest communication in this journey. Heidi's approach is both compassionate and encouraging, offering practical steps for listeners to integrate these insights into their daily lives. If you're seeking ways to grow spiritually while managing life's challenges, this episode is a must-listen. Are you ready to expand your capacity and embrace the life you were meant to live?
