The Four Pillars of Emotional Wholeness
Imagine living in a house with four crucial pillars-if even one is damaged, the entire structure becomes unstable. Our emotional and spiritual health functions similarly. We struggle not because we're broken beyond repair, but because we've never developed four essential capacities that make us fully human. These capacities-bonding, boundaries, integrating good and bad, and becoming adults-form the foundation of psychological and spiritual maturity. When underdeveloped, they manifest as depression, anxiety, relationship failures, and a pervasive sense that something fundamental is missing from our lives. The good news? With grace, truth, and time, these capacities can be strengthened at any age, transforming our experience of ourselves, others, and God.
