Help Where You Need It Most

As I’ve mentioned in recent newsletters, as of January 2025 I’m on a sabbatical from coaching (except for Immanuel Connection calls and the newsletter/blog). My goal is to rest, heal, restore, and realign with what God has for me in my divine design right now.

This weekend, my children are taking over on the home front so I can get away for around 48 hours. It will be a retreat of sorts.

People ask me what I’ll do. I say, “sleep, meet a friend for dinner on Saturday night, read, write, and pray.” Not necessarily in that order. Mostly it will be about being rather than doing.

Author Cheryl Richardson says that the main task of the “wisdom years” is to make the switch from primarily doing to primarily being.

For a trauma survivor, it is also the main way to heal. Being truly, fully present in the moment is something some of us have to learn.

Happily, the nervous system can be rewired.

So as I take some time off, I want to leave you with some resources to explore.

First is a book I’ve started reading by Anna Runkle, called Re-Regulated: Set Your Life Free from Childhood PTSD and the Trauma-Driven Behaviors That Keep You Stuck. I have been following Anna, a.k.a “The Crappy Childhood Fairy” on YouTube, for some time, and her book is a very accessible and practical guide to healing Childhood PTSD.

One thing that struck me from the book is that often for people with Childhood PTSD, lots of the healing approaches just don’t work, because they don’t really address the neurological aspects of CPTSD. If you’ve tried many healing approaches, including The Healing Codes, and they don’t really help you, or they seem to quit working after a while, it might be because this key approach was missed.

If this describes you, or you think it might describe you, check out Anna Runkle’s website and videos and maybe get her book. Working through it will probably be a focus of my weekend.

The second is a reminder that my websites, the Healing Heart Issues blog and my HealingCodesCoaching.com website, contain lots of articles on emotional, spiritual, and physical healing, energy, The Healing Codes, deepening your relationship with God, and much more.

Just go to either of the sites and type your topic in the Search bar.

For instance, on the Healing Heart Issues blog, you might want to search the following (I’ve already provided the search links):

• “emotional inflammation”
• Childhood Emotional Neglect
• Healing Codes FAQ
• hidden stressors
• align with your divine design
• healing heart issues
• recommended products

Or, of course, you can search for any other keyword and see if and what I wrote on that topic. Chances are, in the past almost 15 years, I did write something about what you want to know!
