Often, healing means changing our daily lives. Another reason healing doesn't take place is because of our addictions . I don't just mean drug and alcohol addiction, either. Those addictions are destructive, and they certainly dominate our society. But drugs and alcohol are only the obvious forms of addiction.
People can develop and unhealthy, co-dependent relationship with their possessions.
It's as real an addiction as any other. And it's an even more socially acceptable form of addiction than drinking. People can develop an addictive dependence on power, or popularity, or gossip, or on their physical appearance. Being healed means letting go, a lot of the time. Another way in which people refuse to be healed, is by loading all the blame on somebody else.
