🎧 PART 2 — HEAL: Healed, Remembered, or Rehearsed? | The Wrong Words Podcast
What if “healed” isn’t something you get to someday but a decision you make the moment the injury happens — and what if most of us are already healed and just choose to remember to remember? In Part 2 of our Heal series, Oliver Marcelle and Luon Dungee push into the controversial corner of healing: trauma, memory, consciousness, and the choice to stop replaying the wound. This episode asks hard questions about acceptance, daily renewal, and whether saying “I’m healing” sometimes lets us avoid getting truly well.
🧠In this episode, we explore:
The provocative idea that many people are already healed — they just keep remembering the hurt
How awareness can either catapult you into wholeness or trap you in replay mode
Why “healing” language can become a safety blanket (and how that protects stuckness)
The role of daily renewal: healed doesn’t always mean you won’t revisit the pain — it means you stop living there
đź“š We unpack:
Old-English, Proto-Germanic and biblical roots (hail, Rafa, Jehovah-Rafa) — and why ancient words point to a full stop, not a forever process
Real-life tension: traumatic history vs. the choice to accept and move (the “bag lady” story from a recovery group)
When to make immediate amends, when to accept, and when to keep moving
The practical difference between cured (an event) vs. ongoing recovery (daily maintenance)
đź’Ą Key moments include:
A raw classroom moment: “How old are you now? When did that happen?” — and why it matters for letting go
The bag-lady metaphor: when carrying the past becomes a choice, not fate
A candid personal example of a quick, restorative repair in marriage — showing how “stop + listen + fix” actually works
The spiritual angle: “healed” as an immediate condition that can still require daily renewal
🛠️ You’ll walk away with:
A sharper distinction between remembering and re-wounding
Simple moves: stop → accept → repair → know when to leave it alone
Permission to treat healing as both an immediate choice and a practice you renew (without turning it into an excuse)
Conversation prompts to test this idea with friends, partners, or a therapist
