What happens when you remember every day of your life, good and bad, and still choose to heal? Licensed counselor Frank Healy joins The Healing Mindset to explore trauma recovery and turning pain into purpose.
Frank shares why healing isn't about erasing memories but changing your relationship with the feelings attached to them, plus a simple daily practice for catching hard thoughts before they take over.
About the Guest:
Frank Healy is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the US and author of 20+ books on healing trauma and preventing burnout. He has worked in mental health for 38 years and lives with hyperthymesia, remembering nearly every day of his life since childhood.
Key Takeaways:
- Healing means changing your relationship to a memory, not erasing it
- Try "catch, check, change": notice the feeling, name the thought, shift it
- Say "I've developed a habit of anxiety," not "I am anxious," to reclaim control
- Naming a panic attack out loud calms it faster than denying it
- Guilt keeps you stuck; focus on repair and doing better next time
- Journal recurring thoughts and memories, then ground yourself back in the present
