The Fear of Healing

The Fear of Healing

Author: Jennifer Hadley February 18, 2026 Duration: 46:05
Why do we resist the very healing we desperately pray for? In this profound exploration of A Course in Miracles Chapter 7, Section 2, Jennifer Hadley reveals a startling truth: we're actually afraid of getting well. But why would anyone fear healing? What hidden beliefs keep us trapped in cycles of pain and victimhood? Jennifer courageously shares her own journey of discovering the deep-seated terror that blocks miracles, examining how our minds create elaborate defenses against the love that would set us free. She explores the difference between old-school forgiveness that brings no relief and true forgiveness that transforms everything, unpacking why our bodies become accusers and how victim consciousness creates the very suffering we claim to want to escape. Can we really give up being right to choose peace instead? What would happen if we stopped seeing ourselves as victims of the world? This episode challenges everything you think you know about healing and offers a radical pathway to freedom through A Course in Miracles teachings that will leave you questioning: what am I really afraid of?
