“Inner Healing” - what does that even mean?

“Inner healing” is a term I often hear across the therapy, counseling, and coaching fields. It’s a phrase that sounds comforting and hopeful, yet it can also feel vague or confusing. To understand what inner healing truly means, we have to acknowledge how much there is to consider such as our thoughts, emotions, bodies, histories, and beliefs. When we begin to sense the depth of it all, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
