True Healing Dr. Bernie Siegal’s Way

Today we are going to speak about healing because that is what this page is all about. Today’s inspiration comes from Dr. Bernie Siegal who practiced general and pediatric surgery. Here is a man who dedicated his life to bettering the lives of all those he touched with a gentle heart and the ability to actually hear what his patients were telling him. This is very rare to find especially in the world of surgeons who most often see themselves as technicians rather than doctors of the heart and soul.

One of the most important things Dr. Siegel stated was that the cause of most people killing themselves with self-destructive behavior is the lack of love they felt. He would make return appointments for his patients who were involved in some form of self-harm (drinking, smoking, eating disorders, etc.)to allow them to know that he was there to unconditionally love and accept them — and that was the foundation of the deepest of healing that he did throughout his career.

He spoke to the fact that so many people feel the need to say ‘yes’ when they would be much better served to say ‘no.’ Plainly stated, there is no need to be a floor mat to be walked upon. Honor yourself and your needs first.

He spoke to the difficulty of being a parent as no one is given a manual on how to perform this job. He is the father of five kids so he is speaking from his own experience. His answer for better parenting was to love your kids as much as you do your pets. People will do anything for their pets. Let your kids know there are rules and there is discipline and do it in a loving manner. Stop worrying about what they will become and instead allow them to find their own way. Your children are not there to fulfill your desires they are there to become the best person that they can be.

Look at your kids and follow their own resources. Give your kids models to live by and allow them to follow their hearts. In this way, our families can prevent many problems and perhaps heal some that have arisen along the way.

These are all priceless messages so far as I am concerned for better health and wellbeing, especially for our kids.
