    Can Self-Love Heal Your Faith?

    Can Self-Love Heal Your Faith?

    Do you struggle with feelings of shame as a person of faith? 

    Do you feel like you are always trying to please God and that God sees you as sinful and shameful?

    Has the focus of your faith journey been on how much you are falling short?

    If  you do, you are not alone. I carried those feelings for over four decades. I was confused about why my faith in God wasn't "fixing" me.
    I found my answers and healing in the last place I would have thought to look: learning to love myself. 
    In this episode, you will discover the following:
    How trauma distorts our view of God.How we make God in our own image and through the lens of how we see ourselves. How we can heal the way we believe God sees us by learning to love ourselves.I hope this episode helps you to see that you have never been seen as anything other than who you truly are: love.

    You are worthy of your own love,
    Jerry

    How to Have Healthier Relationships Through Self-Love

    How to Have Healthier Relationships Through Self-Love

    Do you wonder why you seem to keep choosing toxic relationships? Are you stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns? Do you make promises to yourself about how you will “never” allow someone to treat you "that way" again, only to find yourself right back in the same situation again and again?

    If any of the above resonates, this episode is for you. 

    In this episode, we will examine how loving yourself is the key to having healthy relationships.

    As you heal your relationship with yourself through self-love then four things will begin to happen:

    1.Your “chooser” will begin to heal
    2.Your “tolerator” will begin to heal
    3.Your “attractor” will begin to heal
    4.Your “needer” will begin to heal 

    I hope that by the end of this episode, you will see that the greatest gift you can give yourself and others in relationships is to first love yourself. 

    “I can do nothing for you but work on myself...you can do nothing for me but work on yourself!” – Ram Daas

    "What If?" The Question That Can Change Your Life

    "What If?" The Question That Can Change Your Life

    Asking the question "what if" can either spiral us into fear and hopelessness or catapult us into the life we want. 
    One of the ways we heal is by using our imagination. When we dream of what we can be, we will begin to move ourselves in that direction. 
    In this episode, we look at the following:
    The Power of Asking a QuestionHow Asking "What If" Can Change Your LifeEngaging the Creative Mind in HealingSwitching From Fear to FaithEngaging Your Brain: Write it and Visualize it Stepping Out and Taking ActionI hope by the end of this episode, you start asking yourself, "What if I deeply healed," "What if my life was full of love," "What if you gave yourself permission to love yourself."

    Healing From Shame: Disidentifying With It

    Healing From Shame: Disidentifying With It

    Shame is one of the most devious emotions. It tricks us into thinking we are the shame. 

    Shame has to be addressed as a part of our healing process. We will stay stuck as long as we think we are the shame. Stuck believing that something is wrong with us and that we can’t heal.

    The wonderful news is that we can heal and get free from shame, and one of the first places to start is to disidentify from it.

    In this episode, we look at the following:
    What is shameWhat is the difference between guilt and shameHow do we become identified with shameHow do we get addicted to shameHow do we disidentify from shame and start to healHow can we retrain ourselves to love ourselves and not feel shame
    This is such an important episode, and understanding these principles was a milestone in my healing process. 

    I am so grateful you are here and investing in your healing journey. 

    You are worthy of your own love,
    Jerry
