Nobody ever sent him a bill. He’s fifty-two, he has lost two jobs and a marriage, and when someone asks if he’s thought about talking to someone, he asks: what’s that going to cost me?

In this episode, Bill counts both columns. First, the real price of healing: being seen, giving up the armor, grief, time, and money. Then the column almost nobody adds up, which is what it costs to stay exactly as you are. Along the way: the CDC’s numbers on childhood trauma in American adults, Jesus on counting the cost (Luke 14:28), the man who sold everything for the treasure in the field (Matthew 13:44), and Paul on what outweighs everything he gave up (Philippians 3:8). One challenge this week: keep the receipts.

This is Part 2 of The Healing Journey. Part 1: Why Willpower Never Heals It.
