In our Insight Anchors framework, the will is represented by the triangle—yet it’s often underestimated in its role in our emotional lives and healing journey. Often, therapists focus on raising awareness of how hidden emotional wounds influence your present-day reactions, and we’re there with our protocols and therapeutic experiences for unburdening the subconscious feelings and conflicts from the past.
But true, lasting healing requires engaging the will more deeply. Our emotional wounds can become strongholds of the enemy, who is quick to implant lies, exacerbate negative emotions, and keep us locked in drama mode—preventing real connection with Our Lord.
It’s good to examine whether we have given in, or “let in” through the “door” of our wills, any patterns of responding to life that inhibit our freedom.
Two resources to help you close that door on harmful patterns and open it wider to grace:
