A CURE FOR WORD OR WORD HEALING - STOER

A CURE FOR WORD OR WORD HEALING 

"You show me the path that leads to life. Thy presence fills me with joy and brings me happiness forever. "(Psalm 16:11) 

- Many people suffer from the ills that affect modern man. Depression is now considered an epidemic, and presents itself as a ghost whose unwelcome presence obscures the human or worse mind, becomes a prison whose walls, though visible, are virtually insurmountable. The fear that sickens our emotions, leads to exaggerated concern, awakens thoughts of tension. Anxiety, distress, trauma, insecurity, rejection, dissatisfaction. 

- How to cope with so many and such great demands on our existence? How to support these internal pressures that make us sick body and the soul; that are externalized and are translated in the way we see the world around us, the other with which we relate or who moved away? 

- I believe that this process goes through a necessary inner healing. But as experience it? 

- If we look at psychoanalysis, through its principal exponent - Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), we find the belief of the "talking cure." He said: "suffer reminiscence remembering that cure." For him, the word gradually presents itself as a key need that gives access to the gates of the soul. Understand the word is an art. 

- Thus, therapy is presented as a form of communication between the EU and the OTHER, but not all, and most importantly, as an instrument of dialogue between our "outer self" (ego) and our "inner self ". 

- Many have sought and found help in therapy. Others have fallen ill in this quest itself. Literary critic, essayist and American novelist (Daphne Merkin) in a recent article published in "Times Magazine" tells its history of 45 years of analysis saying: "My unwavering faith in the possibility of self-transformation impelled me to a therapist to another, forever looking for something that seemed out of my reach. "

- I would think a trajectory of our searches in two dimensions: the healing word and the word cure. 

- Therefore, I suggest we develop three postures: 

I - TALK TO HIMSELF 

- Often anxiety takes hold of our hearts and the slaughter by failing to involve us by fear, insecurity, anxiety. And often, this perspective reflects a preoccupation with facts that besides not being present and are only possibilities, most times will even become facts. 

- Add in that even in these times of stress, our view seems overshadowed as the principles, values ​​and fundamentals that even believe as truth, but we can not turn into attitudes and strength to react before our demands. 

- This brings me to an attitude of biblical psalmist (Psalm 42) when faced with many conflicting emotions, mixing sadness and joy, fear and faith, doubt and devotion to God, establishes a dialogue of their "outer self" with your "inner self" translating it into a repeated question: "Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me and? "(Vs. 5:11). 

- Feed your soul with dreams; fill it with hope, for it is healing and transformative. Solomon wrote: "Hope that defers makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled fills the heart of life." (Prov 13:12). 

II - TALK TO THE OTHER 

- Through word can affect the other and being affected by the other. Turn it into a positive opportunity for growth. 

- Establish moments of connection in which humility and love can be exercised, raising hope the other or through the other. 

- Reports of the American government realize that the willingness to listen (via a telephone contact served by a therapist or counselor) veterans prevented the death of about 10 000 of these veterans, only between 2007 and 2010. 

- Seek sincere and also develop healthy friendships, through relationships that allow it to speak, because a friend is a person with whom I may be sincere and honest, before whom I can think aloud. Aristotle (Greek philosopher of the fourth century) said: "True friends are a sure refuge." 

- Talk to each other, even if the time is in anguish, distress, tension, doubt or fear. Share your pain. Seek help. 

- "In all the time friend loves, and anguish is his brother." (Prov 17:17) 

III - TALK TO THE HIGH 

- One of the richest experiences I have lived throughout my story is the possibility of speaking with God and hear him talk to me. Therein I found the two dimensions that give rise to our thinking today. 

- One of them allows me to know the "talking cure", because I can talk to Him of my pains, struggles, fears, anxieties, anxieties. I expose you my dissatisfaction; share my disappointment. Until he hears my complaints with a healer and loving attitude. 

- And when you expose those feelings in a way that even I can understand, I am compelled to an attitude of devotion and gratitude to your embarrassing love that fills me with hope and faith. 

- In another dimension: "the word that heals" I find every word uttered by God, an inexhaustible source of life. 

- Meeting discretion, privacy and intimacy: "You conceal me in the secret of Thy presence" (Psalm 31:20) 

- Meeting direction and renew my soul sometimes confused and tired, "You show me the path that leads to life. Thy presence fills me with joy and brings me happiness forever. "(Ps 16:11) 

- Meeting, finally, a cure that much desire: "He sent me his word and healed me ...". (Ps.107: 20). 

- Work out these principles. You make valuable and rich discoveries for and in their walk of life. 

A big hug, 

friend, the
