Healing is a broad term, and we may be tempted to define emotional, physical, or spiritual healing—or even financial healing—in different ways. Emotional healing may be defined as being free of negative emotional charge from the past, while financial healing may be defined as freedom from debt. Physical healing may be the mending of a limb or the elimination of cancer.
“No more excuses. We must find one another, and as we join in a deeper communion with one another, we can no longer be destroyed.”
Kathleen Hanagan
I love that quote by Thomas Merton! How can we possibly be anything but ourselves?! And yet, most adults have experienced an identity crisis at least once if not several times before the age of 30. The term “identity crisis” first came from developmental psychologist and psychoanalyst Erik Erikson. Erikson introduced the ideas of adolescent identity crises as well as midlife crisis, believing that personalities developed by resolving crises in life.
