“It’s all in your head, just get over it!” I shuddered at the mere thought of typing that statement, but it is, of course, a sentiment that you may have heard, or said. Whether the speaker’s intent is innocent or malicious often has little to do with the fact that the ‘it’ leaves you feeling heavier than before. We live in a society that is prone to extremism. Cultural beliefs, societal shifts and foundational upbringing may have forced us to believe that some version of the extreme is the way of life. In humanities attempt to remain in control we pendulum between trying to do everything all at once or doing absolutely nothing at all. If you find yourself needing mental, emotional, physical, or even spiritual healing, both extremes seem to push towards avoidance or self-reliance. Where do you see the Creator in that?
