Healing - A Process of zooming in and zooming out, and repeat....

When we think about healing, we might wish there was a magic wand (sadly there isn’t). However, we know that healing is a process. There are many ways we can describe this process, and in fact many ways we can experience it. One way to think about healing is as a deliberate process of zooming in and zooming out. This allows us multiple perspectives to support insights, learning and change.

We might start by zooming in, by reflecting on and answering questions around why you’ve chosen to embark on your journey of healing.

We then zoom out, allowing us to get a bigger picture of your life, your context, what’s going on for you and what’s important.

With this understanding, we may zoom back in to focus on a specific concern. Think increasing confidence, addressing anxiety, shifting unhelpful habits, or even curiosity around a past life. Alternatively, your focus might be something more nebulous, like purpose in life, moving past feeling stuck, or wanting to really flourish. Either way, we would zoom in to explore this in more depth, understanding why this matters to you, what you hope to achieve, and what you would like to be different, amongst other details.

We could then remain zoomed in, with a focus on the detail of the concern, or we might zoom out a little to see how this might fit into your broader life, or we might zoom out a lot to understand how this fits in at a soul level, depending on your interests and beliefs. This helps position the desire for change, and allows us to explore the root cause of what’s not working so that we can develop a plan to address it.

Our plan will likely have us both zoom in and out. Where are the beliefs and behaviours coming from? When and how were they formed? Where and how are they showing up? How are they impacting you and is this a once off, or a pattern? And importantly, how will we shift them? We may zoom out to build your inner resources to prepare you to shift whatever it is that’s causing your concern, behaviour, or belief. We may zoom in to target a particular belief, behaviour, or idea. Most often we do both.

This approach is helpful due to the shifts in perspective it provides. Gaining multiple perspectives allows us to see things we may not have seen before. When we then act on and embed the learning and insights gained through these perspectives, we have the opportunity for sustainable change and healing.
