THH043—Helena Summer: I Love, Therefore I Am
Welcome to "The Healthy Healer" podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Fred Moss. Through sustained conversations, we delve deep into the journeys of healers who've found their purpose after personal transformation. Many enter the healing profession with aspirations only to grapple with reality—endless training, unexpected responsibilities, and even disillusionment. But there are those who rise above, harnessing personal healing and rediscovering their passion. Our podcast features these inspiring souls who've returned to the healing profession, stronger and more aligned than ever. Join us for riveting conversations that shed light on the true essence of healing and the incredible individuals who've redefined their paths.
Here are some key takeaways from this episode:
Helena believes that love is at the core of who she is. When she connects to love, she feels her true essence. Without love, she feels something is missing in herself.
She helps people improve their relationships by helping them connect more deeply to their own essence. This allows them to have more fulfilling connections with others.
She went through a traumatic experience during the war in Croatia in 1991 when she was separated from her family and ended up in a refugee camp. This caused her to confront the hatred in her own heart and realize she needed to transform it with love in order to stop the cycle of violence.
Her methods for helping people grew out of her experience in the refugee camp and her spiritual seeking, including becoming a nun for a time. She aims to help people slow down, turn inward, and make peace in their hearts.
She emphasizes the difference between the madness of infatuation versus real love, which has a gentle purity to it.
Her message is to "live delicious" - to live fully from an open heart, focusing on what's delicious in life rather than getting bogged down in negativity. This gives more meaning to our short lives.
Overall, her story is an inspiring one about the power of love to heal trauma and change the world by changing one heart at a time. She embodies the principles of a healthy healer.
