In this episode of Encouragementology, Kendell Boysen, a professional life and recovery coach, tackles the complex journey of healing when you're caught between the pain and the fear of letting go. Kendell dives into the emotional rollercoaster that many face when tired of hurting but not quite ready to heal. The episode unpacks why healing isn't just a quick fix but a deeply personal journey that unfolds over time.
Kendell shares that sometimes the hurt becomes a part of our identity, acting as a security blanket, and the idea of releasing it can be terrifying. Through relatable anecdotes and gentle guidance, Kendell explores the comfort of emotional residue and all-or-nothing thinking, urging you to honour your readiness without rushing the process. Healing is described as more than just the absence of pain; it's about embracing new patterns, which can be daunting yet rewarding.
Kendell also addresses the illusion of readiness, where we want things to change without discomfort. You'll find yourself reflecting on your own journey as Kendell encourages you to identify with your pain and understand the hidden benefits it might offer. She poses thought-provoking questions like "Are you afraid of accountability?" and "What would make you feel safe enough to begin healing?" These questions are meant to spark self-awareness and open up a dialogue within yourself.
Kendell introduces practical steps for starting the healing process, such as acknowledging your pain without judgment, identifying the hidden benefits of holding onto hurt, and making small shifts towards change. This episode is a compassionate guide for anyone who feels stuck in their pain but desires a way forward. If you're seeking a gentle nudge to explore healing at your own pace, this episode is definitely worth a listen.
