Review of Seeking... Finding... Healing... :
Seeking…Finding…Healing by Becky Lu Jackson is an informative nonfiction book focused on healing and overcoming past trauma. Jackson suffered from drug and alcohol addictions and an eating addiction. She examined her life and determined that trauma from her past was causing destructive behavior and fueling her unhealthy addictions. She decided that she needed to focus on these earlier traumas and find a way to resolve the emotions that continued to have a negative impact on her life. She developed a method of connecting with her younger selves and accessing the cause of the past pain to overcome it. She began working on an inner family healing model. By focusing on her younger selves at different ages in her past, she could identify the cause of the pain she was feeling at the time. Through the visualization process, she could interact with her younger selves and determine how to heal the pain or trauma.
Jackson asks readers to be open to the concept of an inner family and contact with our younger selves through meditation. She provides a step-by-step process to guide readers in creating their inner family. She encourages readers to create a plan to identify and hopefully resolve important aspects of our lives through visualization. Once the inner family is established, it can be used as a foundation for healthy living in the future. Jackson encourages adding spiritual guides to your inner family. They provide guidance in resolving past trauma and future decisions.
I found this book to be enlightening. The concept of an inner family is new to me. Examining your past trauma seems like a healthy way to address current negative impacts. For example, if something traumatic happened to you when you were ten, Jackson encourages you to visualize a discussion with your ten-year-old self. By revisiting the incident and the feelings you experienced at that time, you can try to move past it. I found this concept fascinating. I began thinking of areas in my life that I am unhappy with and focusing on when I began to feel that way. I think this book will be beneficial to readers who are unhappy with any aspect of their lives.
The author’s personal stories were my favorite parts of this book. Jackson described struggling with several different issues in her past. She explained her experiences honestly to readers. Readers will be able to relate to many of the issues. Divorce, death, and addiction are just some of the topics she addressed. It is fascinating to read how she approached such difficult topics with her inner family. I also like that she provided a script for meditation and visualization to help readers begin the process of healing. Her advice is compassionate and based on her own experiences. There was nothing I disliked about this book.
I recommend this book to readers who are open to this type of visualization and meditation. There is a focus on spiritualism and God, so these topics should appeal to potential readers. There were less than ten errors in this book, so I believe it was professionally edited. I give this book a rating of four out of four stars. It is a unique approach to healing past trauma and living a healthy life.
