Step Inside the Circle

[@leroylucas6488]

These circles take hurt people that hurt people and turn them to healed people who heal people. I served 23 yrs fir taking a life and I was a mess. I overcame my inner fears and opened myself to all my traumas with other men inside and we are better today. Due to this work I have been free for over 5 years and I no longer hurt others or myself I seek to heal. God bless the men and women that step in to the circles

[@PlatinumIrishrose]

In my mind I took those steps into the circle. Only we were not poor. Only one I didn't step for. I'm so thankful that you have learned how to heal. I am still struggling with my demons. Please pray for my family. Thank you. God bless you with abundance of faith.

On 8/10/2017 Jesus completely healed my mind, body, soul and spitit in just 1 day. I found out it only takes 1 Day to LIsten to the NT Bible. The Truth broke every chain! Since then I live a very quite life, content and blessed, bec all I do in my free time, is I've read my Bible from cover to cover every single month for the last 6 years. The SHU would be affective if they could all listen to the NT Bible 24/7. I no longer want anything that the world has to offer. After I bought a house, I went on a mission trip in Brazil, and all I wanted to do was move there with only a backpack full of survival gear. Simply catch a fish, puck fruits and vegitables that grow wild, bathe in the river, and read and sleep in a hammock, and have a tarp for when it rains.. Sounds like Paradise 🎉 Only Love & The TRUTH can set us free. Once I LET Jesus heal me, it's now like I'm telling someone else's story, because All I know now is Love joy peace patients kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self control, Gal 6:22. Only Jesus can bring us from the end of the line which is where I was... to the very front.

Such an amazing and powerful story! I grew up in a childhood and broken home I would not wish on anyone else. It wasn't 100% horrible, but mostly I remember being sent to my room every night when my dad just got home in case he was drunk to go through the same thing over and over and hear him abusing my mom and breaking everything on the counters and shelves when he would go off. Sadly, I can't remember a lot of certain good things like when my mom mentions them but I at least remember SOME good in it. I'm so thankful for my praying mama. My father to this day still seems so lost and thinks he has found God and that I have not, when I am a leader for Christ, but he condemns me and disowned me basically last year in October while I am now 43 years young. He had a horrid childhood from the little I know, so he did pass that trauma down.

But no one ever gives a damn about addressing the root of the problem in the individual. Well this is a big first step in that direction. But then there's another problem that needs to be addressed which is poverty, how society doesn't give a damn about cleaning up poorer communities and then creating lots of opportunities in those poor communities so those living in poverty don't only have drugs and crime all around them which causes stressed out violent parents being abusive to their children. When will that problem ever be addressed?

ACEs opened my eyes to my trauma and started me on my healing path and although I learned about them in college it stands to say that this study is such a remarkable piece of research that has reached millions of people who need to hear that there is no shame but there is a common factor that goes into us when we experience such hardships growing up. The prison population is unfortunately one of the places you’ll find vast amounts of people who have high ACEs.

Prisons should be healing centers- for the most wounded among us end up there.

Only certain innovative countries actually heal people.not just educationally, prison system , & drug addiction. Like Netherlands, Australia, etc. Here is more of a business for the prison owners. Less innovation in the school system. We are lacking. Finland students go to school less then 8 hours and is the top educational system in the world . Here students start to loose their imagination, creativity , curiosity.

I agree to a point. But it’s for punishment for a crime that was committed. If someone murdered/raped ur loved one u would want punishment. It’s a reality check to be in there and they need to be helped in there

[@ryanmccarthy8625]

The powers-that-be here in the US simply don't want that though. They don't care about rehabilitating people, they just want a fat fucking paycheck at the end of every week for neglecting, abusing and keeping people locked up like animals.

[@mistywilson2358]

Fritzi thank you to you and your team and all who are a part of this movement! I've been on both sides of the tracks, lived in hell most of my life in some way or another, and by the Grace of God I'm here fighting the good fight with all of you.. in love and light Prison reform is such an absolute necessity, moving from punishment to the help that's needed. Time spent is one helluva punishment already - you're taking the one most precious gift of our lives, u know - The one thing u can never get back is time (and what's done in it)... we CAN however, take this time thats before us and unlearn, rewire, love, and heal from the inside out to all those souls we touch from this momemt forward Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and thank you to The Centre for Healing for bringing me here Much love to all of you in this video, these comments, behind the scenes, and every life you touch in between! May the hamd of Grace forever bless the path you walk upon hereforth Amen

[@alexiaballard]

When I read the comments its a big reminder that many of those that seek God are from broken places and have a much deeper appreciation to have found faith in Him and know that God's forgiveness is great if we follow him and repent and try to be better people than the day before. We all fall short, on judgement day we will all be guilty, no matter how big or small the sin, it is equal in the eyes of the Father. The important lesson to be learned here is that we are no better than one another because we all fall short. As someone with similar experiences the only thing that kept me on the straight and narrow was my faith. God bless everyone in the comments and the video. God is good!

This brave woman stepping in to fight for and encourage these wounded men to step in too! God bless you all 🙏🏼 So did she make a movie? I want that video to go with my collection of JOHN BRADSHAW’s, HOMECOMING seminars/books. Attended a 3-day seminar with him many years ago and I’m so grateful for the tools to heal the innerchild’s long history of abuse. This woman and Bradshaw compliment each other so well. Healing from the inside to love yourself and become your own best friend - the-one who has stood with you through it all. Only then are we able to experience/give true love❤️ I’m in tears for all these hurting people and especially my family. Above all that we can do, OUR GOD IS MIGHTY TO SUSTAIN US🙏🏼 ISAIAH 41:10 ❤️ to you all🙋🏼‍♀️

[@1stJohn3.9-10]

This reminds me of a similar illistration that was done in prison to show us that regardless of their race, we all had a very tragic past. I did 19 years of prison, and that was the most impactful exercise I'd ever seen. ~I used to be a homeless suicidal drug addicted murdering gay prostitute that was kidnapped for sx trafficking, so from age 6-50, I had 4 multiple personality disorders, I lived in the ghetto with Gangs contantly killing eachother. On 8/10/2017 Jesus completely healed my mind, body, soul and spitit in just 1 day. I found out it only takes 1 Day to LIsten to the NT Bible. The Truth broke every chain! Since then I live a very quite life, content and blessed, bec all I do in my free time, is I've read my Bible from cover to cover every single month for the last 6 years. The SHU would be affective if they could all listen to the NT Bible 24/7. I no longer want anything that the world has to offer. After I bought a house, I went on a mission trip in Brazil, and all I wanted to do was move there with only a backpack full of survival gear. Simply catch a fish, puck fruits and vegitables that grow wild, bathe in the river, and read and sleep in a hammock, and have a tarp for when it rains.. Sounds like Paradise 🎉 Only Love & The TRUTH can set us free. Once I LET Jesus heal me, it's now like I'm telling someone else's story, because All I know now is Love joy peace patients kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self control, Gal 6:22. Only Jesus can bring us from the end of the line which is where I was... to the very front.

I felt like I could have been in the center of the circle myself all mostly thanks to my step father. I had to really reach inside myself and change for good. If my real dad or step dad couldn't be a father to me than I had to be a man for myself. My point is that we can all change for a better future not just for us but for our kids. Be all u wanted to be and more! No one can hold U back. Even if its family father or mother trying to put you down. You can do it! I believe in you and God does too. Be better, show the world that u are better and will do better for everyone . specially for yourself. Self love is the best love.

[@baptistebrodard]

Looking at this brillant video, we realize that crime and incarceration often stem from familial and social problems and hardships. Actually, a strong and dangerous trend is to "medicalize" social issues and to consider many people in prisons as being mentally ill... But this trend ignores that these "mental illnesses" are mainly consequences from difficult life experiences, familial issues and violent social contexts. Besides, many "gangsters" of today are just the victims of yesterday. When they were children, people feel sorry for them... But when they are adults, these same people condemn them in the harshest way.

[@slasaus1]

Yes well said! Pls take into account ppl that condemn do that coz they got fears themselves (fear of abandonment/inadequacy, insecurities) so by condemning they got a brief moment of relief, an energy spike, feeling better than others (duality instead of we are all one). namaste

Thats the difference between a child and adult, an adult should know how to handle themselves.

Except millons of people went through the same types of childhoods and didn't grow up to murder people rob people and other such crimes. And her statement I'm white and a female so I got a get out of jail card is b.s.. There are plenty of white women in prison.

[@workinprogress5821]

Yes the new agenda is to " medicalize " everything , and call everything a mental illness , in my area they just changed our hospital systems and we have a 24 hour mental illness clinic , and two other big mental illness facilities that just popped up , your right this is bad. The levels of things they are preparing to be able to do is terrifying. People better wake up in California real quick. Especially if they have kids. You are spot on. 👍🏾👍🏾
