Healing from the wounds of toxic, abusive, or absent parents - Ray Hurst

Papa Ray Hurst explains how to heal from the wounds of toxic or absent parents.  Ray is an international speaker and coach, a pastor, missionary, author, artist, and poet.  You can reach Ray at his website www.ILAPnow.com and find his book "Daddy Why Don't You Love Me?" on Amazon. 

Some of the highlights Ray shares:

• Never base your self worth on your past; it was a life lesson, not a life sentence 
• There is no perfect parent - we don't blame, shame, or condemn 
• Feelings buried alive never die
• How to heal from mother wounds and father wounds
• From ages 0-10 is our core imprint period of development where we attach meanings to events
• Your subconscious brain stores all your memories and the beliefs attached to them
• We can't change the event, but we can change the meaning we assigned to those events 
• Every thought is tied to a belief
• When you know the truth the truth will set you free, if you're not free, you haven't found the truth.
• Stress is not what you're thinking; it's what you believe about what you're thinking
• We need to stop, ask "what am I thinking", and then "why am I thinking that?"  
• The people who hurt you were broken and empty and couldn't give you what they didn't have
• Rewrite the meaning! You are not worthless, rejected, abandoned, unlovable, etc.
• If you remember an event and it still hurts, there is still a lie attached to it
• Needs are driven by lack (usually something you didn't get during your core imprint)
• Take just one step at a time
• And more
