Finding Healing in Stillness: Michael Stoller on 'Whole Again' by Jackson MacKenzie

The purpose of the feeling is to sit with it and to sit with it without trying to relieve it and not being dependent on your sponsor or your friend or your therapist, or an aa meeting, or even a reading from the bible or reading from a book or anything outside of you, that the first thing to do is sit with it yourself and see if you could be with that feeling and just maybe, as you grow and get stronger spiritually.
Have you ever wondered if simply sitting with your feelings could be the key to true healing?

As someone who has read countless self-help books, Michael places this one in his top five, and it's easy to see why.
The book emphasizes that while addressing trauma and emotional wounds is crucial, it's not the whole picture. True healing involves sitting with your feelings, without rushing to alleviate them or relying on external distractions.
