Summary
Last week we talked about Cathy Loerzel’s U-diagram and about the importance of engaging particular scenes of heartache and harm in order for healing to begin to take place for you. Today we continue our discussion of what the process of healing requires and what it looks like. If you linger in death, if you dip down into the bottom of the U-diagram, you will enter sorrow and grief… and grief is met by the comfort of God which brings a newness to your heart, and a restoration of vitality and joy. This is the path of healing.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the place we find ourselves. I'm Adam Young and today we are talking about |
| 0:07.1 | how healing happens. This is part two of a three-part series on the whole subject of healing. |
| 0:14.4 | Last week we talked about the U-Diagram and about the importance of engaging particular scenes of |
| 0:21.6 | heartache and harm in order for healing to begin to take place for you. The U-Diagram was created |
| 0:28.9 | and developed by Kathy Lorsell, who is the executive vice president of the Allender Center, |
| 0:35.1 | and I have found Kathy's U-Diagram to be incredibly helpful for doing good story work. |
| 0:42.7 | And by the way, if you want a guide to writing out one of your stories, I have a free resource on |
| 0:49.0 | my website that walks you through how to do that so you can visit AdamYoungCountsling.com |
| 0:55.3 | and access it under free resources. Today we continue our discussion of what the process of healing |
| 1:03.0 | requires and what it looks like. Thank you for listening. |
| 1:12.9 | Let me begin by saying that if you haven't listened to last week's episode, how healing happens |
| 1:18.2 | part one, you may feel a little lost at times during this episode. Last week we talked about this |
| 1:24.8 | thing called the U-Diagram, which I got from the Allender Center, and it is about the necessity |
| 1:31.2 | of lingering in death in order for healing to begin to exist. Let me clarify that entering the U |
| 1:40.4 | isn't in order to relive or re-enact the heartache or the trauma, but rather the purpose is to |
| 1:48.4 | follow the pattern of Jesus' life that I believe we are each called to follow. In other words, |
| 1:53.8 | the narrative of Friday, Saturday, Sunday. On Friday there is the crucifixion, torture, trauma, |
| 2:03.0 | death. On Saturday there is the descent into hell, it is the essence of the valley of the shadow |
| 2:09.3 | of death, and then on Sunday, deep joy, the hope of resurrection, and most of all, surprise. Sunday |
| 2:17.7 | is always a surprise when it happens. Now, sliding down the descending slope of the U-Diagram is |
| 2:26.6 | to slide down into the reality of a particular story of heartache, and to remember in our bodies |
| 2:35.8 | and spirits the bodily sensations and the emotional realities of those moments of the story. |
