You're so close! We just need you to take one tiny, little, itsy-bitsy step to confirm your subscription. The stories, you realize, are illogical. You’re overreacting. You’re convinced your world is imminently coming to an end and these “gut feelings,” the ones you’ve been implicitly told to trust for so long, are simply warning you to take cover. The sheer impact of you becoming the person you know you were meant to be will have a ripple effect on everyone and everything around you. Nothing will ever be the same. If you cannot imagine how else you might leave a legacy, help others, or do something meaningful with your life, the most important place to start is within yourself. Through "This Is How You Heal," you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your past experiences, and learn how to use that knowledge to create a brighter future. You'll discover that healing is not a one-time event, but a lifelong journey of self-discovery and growth. It can begin with a one-time event — typically some form of sudden loss that disrupts our projection of what the future might be. However, the true work of healing is allowing that disruption to wake us from a deep state of unconsciousness, to release the personas we adapted into, and begin consciously piecing together the full truth of who we were meant to be.

For the ones who face a fork in the road… There is only one path: the one that leads you to your truth. Table of Contents When you’re ready to heal, you will need to lay yourself down in a very safe space and focus on those tense feelings. Have them show you their origins. You will begin to see moments you forgot about, feelings you forgot you ever felt. The past will come up in blinks and vignettes. Slowly, over time, you will awaken to what is really wrong—which is the piece of you that had to break off and build a wall around your heart because behind it was a wound you did not yet know how to heal. Our healed selves are not our most flawless selves. They are not immune to sadness or grief or fear. They are just not controlled by those experiences any longer. They feel sadness when it is time for sadness, and grief when it is time to grieve, and contentment on a more regular basis. They fear things that are unknown or important or both, but they do not allow that emotion to prevent them from moving forward. Life can be deeply challenging and profoundly unfair, and without the ability to move through the feelings that may accompany our experiences in real time, we often become trapped in the old stories we once wove around them.It’s far simpler to gaze outward and point our fingers at what we believe everyone else is doing wrong. It is more challenging to look ourselves in the mirror and be honest about the ways that we have not been living up to our true potential, to identify the areas in life where we have some room for growth, and then to consistently push ourselves to show up every day to make those changes manifest. At Thought Catalog Books, we take great pride in publishing our authors and harnessing deep bonds with them. With this author-first approach to book publishing, we have created numerous best-selling print books, audiobooks, and eBooks in over 30 languages. You will need to sweat. You will need to stretch and move your body, and pay close attention to where you are tight and what feels uncomfortable, and where you are pent up and storing all that pain.

Shop Catalog 11 Profound ‘When You’re Ready, This Is How You Heal’ Quotes From Brianna Wiest’s New Book Healing is not so much a chapter in your story but changing the way you write the entire book. Brianna Wiest You recognize that familiar, dull feeling in your gut—as though something is wrong, though you can’t quite pinpoint what. You start to take inventory of your life. You recount your job, your salary, your friends, what so-and-so from such-and-such time in your life would think of you now, your nice new profile photo on Facebook. The pieces, when put together, form a picture that should nullify that feeling.

In the same way that no two people are exactly alike, every purpose we are called to is unique as well, and this is precisely what this book intends to do: awaken each of us to the small and large ways in which we truly can affect those around us, in the corner of the earth we were given, in the specific ways we know how, for the period of time that is ours. Whether you're new to the journey of self-healing or have been on it for a while, "This Is How You Heal" offers a fresh perspective and new insights that will help you take your healing to the next level. With its compassionate and empowering approach, this book will guide you every step of the way towards a more fulfilling and joyful life. Actually, things are really right, which is why you finally feel safe enough to feel what you really feel. Stop projecting. Stop telling stories. Those dull, unsettling feelings are not in the future—they’re in the past.
