Louise Hay Recovering from PTSD and Trauma

This post could also have been called "How to Achieve Your Goals and Attract What You Want".  

When I was young, I used to read a lot of mind/body/spirit, self-help books. One book that really uplifted me was Khalil Gibran's The Prophet. I used to read it every day – one half on one day and the other half the next.

However, I was looking for practical methods to help me achieve my goals. I wanted to attract positive things into my life – a partner/relationship, more money, career success, etc.

All of the mind/body/spirit, self-help books I read said that I had to be in a positive state – mentally and emotionally positive – in order to attract the things I wanted.

Louise Hay was the first author I found who talked about difficulties. I didn't realise at the time that I was suffering from childhood trauma. I had experienced daily, sustained mental and emotional abuse within my family for many years, but I didn't even have the words to describe my experience. I didn't even understand what had happened. Any time I tried to speak about what I had experienced, people dismissed it.

And when I went away to college, I literally thought I was going crazy because I was out of that abusive environment which I had considered normal up till then. I kept going to psychiatrists, saying “I think I'm crazy”. They kept telling me, “You're not crazy”, but beyond that, they didn't help me.

A lot of us are recovering from childhood trauma, but we may not realise this.

A few years later, I discovered Louise Hay's work. She was the first author I came across who said we need to do some healing in order to bring about positive change. And healing is possible! Positive change is something we can achieve!   And it starts with healing the past.  This felt like the sun coming out from behind the clouds. 

 

I listened to her “Love Your Body” cassette until I wore it out!

I've since learned effective ways of healing my early traumatic experiences, and I am starting to attract more of what I want.

Unfortunately, Louise Hay has transitioned, but fortunately, she left us a great legacy.

Healing Breast Cancer

I was reading Louise Hay's book The Power Is Within You earlier today. She talks about healing cancer.

As you may know, Louise Hay healed herself of cancer. Here's what she says:

Many people only feel safe when they are sick. They are usually the kind that have difficulty saying the word no. The only way they can say no is by saying "I'm too sick to do it". It's a perfect excuse. I remember a woman at one of my workshops who had three cancer operations. She couldn'y say no to anybody... She was Daddy's little girl, so whatever Daddy told her to do, she did. it was impossible for her to say no.... It took four days to get her to literally shriek "No!" at the top of her lungs. I had her do it while shaking her fist. "No! No! No!". Once she got into it, she loved it.

I find that many women with breast cancer can't say no. They nourish everybody except themselves.... Two or three months of saying no to everything will begin to turn things around.
