On Healing Mindset, host Nazish speaks with Elena Huggins—speaker, musician, and advocate for emotional freedom—about moving from constant “maintenance” to lasting freedom. Elena explains why healing becomes complicated (and disempowering) when we stack tactics and gurus, and how returning to Scripture simplified her path: renewing thought patterns, reshaping parenting, and restoring peace. She outlines the difference between being healed and being free, how honest self-inquiry and forgiveness as a choice break emotional loops, and why science often catches up to biblical wisdom. Practical steps, straight talk, and a clear anchor for anyone feeling stuck. About the guest: Elena Huggins is a speaker and musician focused on mental and emotional freedom through faith-based principles integrated with psychology and research. Her book “Untwist Me” connects Scripture with medical and scientific studies to make complex issues simple and actionable. Key takeaways: Freedom vs. maintenance: Healing that relies on constant techniques can leave you one spiral away from relapse; freedom means the old pattern loses power. Keep it simple to stay powerful: Overcomplicating mental health makes people freeze; simplicity restores agency and momentum. Scripture as a cognitive framework: Daily reading shifted thought patterns (“think on what is true and good”) and behavior—akin to cognitive restructuring, but simpler to apply. Faith and science aren’t enemies: Many modern insights (rest, fasting, mind–body–gut links) align with long-standing biblical principles; research often “catches up.” Invite God into the pain: Distinguish belief in God from a relationship with Jesus; surrender and honest dialogue create an anchor during chaos. Honesty first: You can’t heal what you won’t name. Drop partial stories; tell the whole truth (including your role) to start moving. Forgiveness is a choice, not a feeling: Releasing resentment protects your body and mind, clears your filter, and stops “bleeding on those who didn’t cut you.” Starter step today: Write the hard, unedited truth about the situation and what you control; choose one concrete release action (prayer, letter you don’t send, 30-day “release” practice).
