I have posted a bit on that subject on some of the threads in here. i'll try and find em.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>I mean beyond giving the person love. Im talking about active strategies for healing a loved one. Based on truth. <hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>Love and support.<br><br>But if you think about it, what worked for you. How did you finally come to that decision? And how do you think you could put your loved one's in that situation, or a gentler, or just a more appropriate version to their circumstances.<br><br>You have to know your loved one very well, have their complete trust, and really back yourself. But at the same time you have to be sure you are not ego tripping and making it worse. thats a lot of no help I am sure.<br><br>I think the most important thing is giving the people you love the desire to heal. I dunno how you do that it just happens I spose. But bringing joy into their life, and making them fell special for just being themselves is good start.<br><br>I suppose they need to have a comfortable space in themselves to build from. Somewhere safe, mentally. Prroviding that would be important.<br><br>If you are male and your partner female, its important to underestate the ability to be violent to protect yor loved ones. Violence has caused these people pain, and they react to the concept of violence, not that it is being done for good or bad, that its being done is enough to reinforce the trauma.<br><br>Sure the ability to protect your loved ones, and the fact that would die for them is important, but they need you there to live for them, so that should be the aim. A safe caring community, and being part of it helped more than anything else in this regard, in the cases I know about.<br><br>Anyway thats all my own opinion based on my experience. It doesn't really give you much to go on i am sorry. I am not an exspurt on this by the smallest fraction of a long shot, but there have been some successes in my life. Spectacular failures too.<br><br>>>But if you think about it, what worked for you. How did you finally come to that decision?

It is not for nothing that in the old days healing oneself was a sign of a potential shaman. you have to know from the inside, perhaps not the exact same circumstances, but close enough that you can trust your empathy.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>I dont think I really understood or knew that.
