The Process of Healing
Juan M. Perez
- As
- a
- counselor,
- for
- the
- last
- 24
- years,
- I
- have
- had
- to
- deal
- with
- this
- one
- issue
- countless
- of
- times.
- I
- have
- been
- blessed
- by
- God
- to
- be
- able
- to
- help
- many
- persons
- come
- to
- a
- healthy
- understanding
- of
- forgiveness,
- what
- it
- means,
- what
- it
- accomplishes,
- the
- consequences
- and
- the
- results
- when
- done
- right.
- On
- the
- other
- hand,
- I
- have
- also
- seen
- the
- results
- of
- ill-understood
- principles
- regarding
- forgiveness.
- Many
- have
- been
- the
- persons
- who
- have
- come
- to
- my
- office
- still
- struggling
- with
- an
- area
- of
- their
- lives
- where
- they
- believed
- that
- there
- should
- have
- been
- resolution
- after
- allegedly
- forgiving
- someone
- else.
- People
- are
- taught
- about
- forgiveness
- in
- many
- different
- ways.
- Too
- many
- times
- though,
- these
- teachings
- are
- actually
- little
- more
- than
- the
- emotional
- opinions
- of
- people
- with
- self-serving
- agendas
- or
- predetermined
- definitions
- that
- they
- will
- not
- give
- up
- even
- when
- they
- see
- the
- lack
- of
- success
- in
- their
- “process”
- for
- forgiveness.
- My
- goal
- in
- this
- writing
- is
- to
- provide
- the
- person
- who
- hurts
- with,
- I
- hope,
- a
- clear
- explanation
- of
- why
- we
- do
- what
- we
- do,
- and
- feel
- how
- we
- feel,
- after
- we’ve
- been
- hurt
- by
- others,
- and
- especially
- what
- to
- do
- about
- it.
- The
- Bible
- is
- an
- excellent
- source
- on
- the
- subject
- of
- healing.
- Not
- just
- that
- God
- (or
- Jesus)
- can
- heal,
- but
- how
- the
- regular
- Christian,
- the
- very
- day
- “Joe”
- believer
- can
- start
- to
- function
- in
- the
- power
- of
- God
- to
- overcome
- this
- crippling
- malady
- of
- perpetual
- emotional
- trauma
- and
- be
- healed.
- What
- you
- will
- learn
- in
- these
- pages
- has
- been
- a
- real
- source
- of
- encouragement
- to
- me.
- I
- learned
- and
- used
- this
- very
- same
- process
- to
- gain
- my
- healing.
- I
- know
- that
- it
- will
- help
- you
- too,
- if
- you
- are
- ready
- to
- let
- go
- of
- the
- pain
- and
- anger,
- to
- be healed.
