To be human is to suffer. Most people try to bypass suffering or live with it in isolation. But true healing happens when you acknowledge its presence, learn to be with it, and allow others to come alongside you in your pain.
“Suffering is this whole notion of my perception that ‘I’m alone with my pain.’ So suffering is a direct function of the degree to which I am isolated with my pain,” explains Dr. Curt Thompson. “If I practice allowing others to be with me, it changes the nature of how I practice anticipating the future. And this is how ‘I’ don’t form hope for me…’we’ form hope for me.”
In today’s episode, Dr. Curt Thompson returns to discuss his incredible new book, The Deepest Place: Suffering and the Formation of Hope. We explore the intersection of faith and neuroscience, unraveling the profound impact of suffering and the formation of hope.
