Want to live a long, happy, healthy, low-stress life? Here's how:

Most Importantly, Get Emotionally Healthy

skip recovery section

As you know all too well, life can be very emotionally painful. You need only live or listen to someone else's experience to be reminded of that.

And you never know when your life could become so emotionally painful that either you might try to end it or your body might give out and you could die from a deadly disease or broken heart caused by the stress that emotional pain creates. So you need to get emotionally healthy if you want to avoid that.

But even if your life never gets to that point, I may not need to tell you how unbearable all that emotional pain can be.

If you have a negative image of God, such as seeing Him as a tyrant, or have thoughts, feelings and behaviors which have kept you bound in fear, anger, sadness, or feelings of worthlessness, it's possible you suffered trauma or abuse in some way as a child, while your mind was developing.

If as a child you were abused, knowingly or unknowingly by abusive, dysfunctional people - and you may not be aware that you were...

...that abuse damaged your developing mind and character in such a way that you now react to stressful situations and behaviors with the unhealthy emotions you had as a wounded, abused child and maybe also one or more addictions or mental disorders, instead of responding with the emotions of a mature, healthy adult.

Whether your mind and character were damaged by trauma; abuse as a child, teen or adult; your parents' - especially your mother's - dysfunctional behaviors, negative emotions and stress while you were growing in her womb; or by such things your grandparents, great-grandparents or earlier ancestors tainted your genes with (we all inherited these tainted genes, unfortunately, some more tainted than others)...

...always putting off dealing with the damage till tomorrow, or ignoring it, will keep you from getting and staying emotionally, physically and spiritually healthy, and cause you to miss out on a truly wonderful, happy and satisfying life that God wants very much for you to experience and enjoy.

But I believe humanistic therapy programs are at best unhelpful, and at worst very damaging. Even 12-step programs, I believe, do not achieve as complete healing as is needed. And I truly believe that hypnosis opens a door that gives Satan direct access to the whole mind, instead of just the conscience, of both the hypnotist and the patient, and must be avoided at all costs, since your very eternal destiny is at stake.

Are you willing to take that risk? Are you sure you want to keep living with the kinds of emotional pain that are unnecessary and avoidable? Are you sure you want to keep living with a negative image of God, when He can make your life truly happy and satisfying?

If you want true and complete healing, first attend or buy the Bible-based, research-supported weekend seminar ''Binding the Wounds'' on DVD by internationally respected counselors Drs. Ron and Nancy Rockey, to learn the four primary steps which are necessary to bring emotional and spiritual recovery and victory, and to educate yourself about what behaviors constitute abuse.
Then, if you were traumatized or abused, I strongly encourage you to attend or buy the 22-week ''Binding the Wounds'' follow-up recovery program on DVD (also Bible-based and research-supported and the precursor to The Journey seminar)...
...or for more in-depth information, attend or buy all 4 segments of The Journey, their main seminar)...

...deal with the damage to your mind and character caused by trauma, knowingly or unknowingly abusive, dysfunctional parents, teachers, ministers / clergy, friends, co-workers, strangers, etc., or tainted genes...

...and get freed from those thoughts, feelings and behaviors which have kept you bound in fear, anger, sadness, or feelings of worthlessness. If you're teachable, you're fixable!

Get spiritually healthy. It'll help get you emotionally healthy like nothing else - except a lifelong, Bible-based, research-supported recovery program - can, because only having God in your heart and life can take away that emptiness, that restlessness you still feel, even with typical recovery programs. Unless you give God first place your life, you'll never feel fully satisfied, complete or at peace.
