When love is applied to hurt, we heal. This is the slogan of Spiritual Psychology. Though simple to read but to put this into practice can be challenging. How do we apply love to hurt? What if all I feel is anger, anxiety, hurt, and shame? Because we cannot get angry enough to heal. We cannot shame ourselves enough to make the situation better. We cannot drink ourselves into oblivion enough, and we cannot think our way out of an emotional trauma. We need to feel our way through it.

Throw everything out the window – the labeling, your judgments, your belief system, and what is right versus wrong. If you can do this, then let couples counseling begin. When couples enter our facility, they are desperate. Something is wrong, and they want to fix it – but in their own way. “If she only listened.” “If he would just do what I wanted, everything would be just fine.” You may believe this, but why hasn’t this worked?

My friend who lives in Los Angeles is spearheading a movement named Roar – which stands for Respect Oversight Advocacy and Reform – for Long-Term Care. I am all too familiar with the problems she faced with her mother in care facilities and produced a few award-winning films in the process.

Last weekend Roar had events in eight cities around the USA – one being Tacoma – which I participated in. It was to help bring awareness to people suffering in care facilities throughout the country. Another healthcare worker from Tacoma manned a booth and talked to people out for their morning jog – many of whom asked to get involved with this cause.

I started working at a 12 Step facility 32 years ago – trying to heal the world. I soon discovered that the approach wasn’t working. Too many clients were relapsing and returning to our facility, all saying they were going to do the program better this time. Was it them or was it the program?

At the end of each week, our clients talk about what they learned. This gives us good feedback and the opportunity to make changes. It’s also important to see things through the eyes of the customer.

If you’ve been in the industry long enough, you realize that therapy isn’t a cookie-cutter approach. Clients are unique and bring into treatment the sum of their experiences. What works for me might not work for them, so the number one task is to give each person the freedom to talk and be heard.

If you weren’t aware of it by now, you are the only person who is going to heal you. You might think that your parents, your partner, a friend, the government, your Higher Power, or even your therapist is going to heal you – but that isn’t true. The only person that has ultimate control is you and that is the person who has the ability to do so.
