Navigating the Seven Stages of Your Healing Journey
In this episode, our host Kim shares her transformative healing journey, taking listeners through the seven stages that many experience on the path to recovery. She emphasizes that these stages don't follow a linear progression—sometimes they circle back or overlap. Kim reflects on her own expectations of a quick, three-step process to healing and how the reality was far more complex.
Kim opens up about her shock when she realized her struggles were rooted in unhealed childhood trauma, leading to burnout in her teaching career and emotional turmoil at home. She discusses the intense emotions she faced—anger, pain, hopelessness, and mourning—towards her parents, extended family, and even herself. These emotions were not easy to navigate, but they were essential steps in her healing process.
Her journey was anything but smooth, filled with moments of despair and feelings of being stuck. Yet, over time, she reached a place of acceptance, understanding that her parents did the best they could with the tools they had.
Kim also discusses how reconnecting with herself and her loved ones was a crucial part of her healing. From setting boundaries to rediscovering her passions, such as horseback riding, she found ways to rebuild her identity outside of her roles as a wife, mother, and teacher.
Kim shares how her healing journey has not only transformed her but also positively impacted her relationships with her husband and daughters.
This episode is a candid exploration of the emotional and psychological stages of healing, offering hope and insight to those on a similar path. Whether you're just beginning your healing journey or are deep into it, Kim's story reminds us that while the road is challenging, it is also profoundly rewarding.
