How to Become Your Own Healer
Imagine having someone in your life who you could have a heart-to-heart conversation with any time you wished. Someone you could tell anything and everything to, being completely understood without any judgment. Someone who would understand, empathize, and accept everything about you with unconditional love.
Someone who could offer the healing balm of compassion to those places in your mind, heart, and soul that need comfort and healing. A healer is someone who provides these elements of care, and you have all of these elements within you, so you can be your own healer by learning how to administer them to yourself.
Compassion heals best when it is expressed in the context of a deeply caring relationship, and heart-to-heart dialogues are the most effective way for this care to be delivered. Becoming your own healer just requires a means for the caring part of your identity to dialogue with the wounded and suffering parts of your identity.
In the early 1990s, a brilliant psychologist named Lucia Capacchione, Ph.D. began teaching her clients and readers how to self-heal using a revolutionary technique of two-handed writing that is remarkably easy and effective.​
The power of this technique comes from its ability to open communication between the left and right hemispheres of the brain and thereby providing a channel of communication between the conscious and subconscious mind. Combined with guidance in the art of healing dialogues, this technique makes it possible for people to become their own healers.
I have been teaching Capacchione’s self-healing method to clients for over 30 years, and as soon as they learn how to do it they no longer need me. It brings to life the adage - Catch a person a fish, feed them for a day. Teach a person to fish, feed them for a lifetime. Just as I did in 1991, anyone can learn how to self-heal from following a clearly written guidebook on the process. Most of the guidance in freeselfhealing.com is derived from Capacchione’s work, with modifications adopted from more my experiences using and teaching it for more than three decades. These methods for self-healing are effective, safe, liberating, empowering, and now presented here for free.
Healing the wounds of trauma, abuse, judgment, heartbreak, shame, and more is a life-changing (and sometimes life-saving) experience. Mood, health, self-esteem, relationships, and spirituality can all be enhanced from healing. Learn how to access the healing power of love as it already exists within you, and deliver that love to those places within you that need it to heal. The ability to self-heal literally lies within your own two hands.
