Healing is essential for lasting change..healing is a transformation, not just a quick fix; a change from an inhibited or impaired state to one of greater health, integration and connection. What was damaged must be soothed, repaired, restored, and given new pathways in which to grow and flourish. In order for change to be thorough, old patterns need to be dissolved, and new, more coherent and refined constructs, formed. In creating coherency in new forms, what has become fragmented or separated, injured or diseased must be made whole again, or perhaps made whole for the first time. . Sharon Weil
About This Quote

Healing is essential for lasting change. As a psychotherapist, I have worked with people who have suffered from a variety of conditions, including addiction and trauma. I have often seen patients who have been in a number of therapy sessions or even years of therapy, but they still cannot heal. In this quote from Peter Levine, the author describes the process by which therapy helps people to heal.

He describes therapy as a process by which people can feel “whole again” and “made whole again” or even for the first time. In therapy, people can confront their past and work through their issues in order to feel better and experience progress in health and well-being.
