Emotionally healthy people are open to love, being loving, and being connected to the living world around us.

The ability to love and connect may be the most important characteristic of an emotionally healthy person. Being open to love is as much a part of
being psychologically healthy as it is a by-product of it. When we are shut down, frenzied by fear of vulnerability, and unable to express emotions in a healthy way, we either resist opening ourselves to love or we invite unhealthy “love” in the form of negative relationships into our lives. As we begin to respond to our world in simple, more authentic ways, we learn that trust, truth, and honest emotion is not so scary after all. We can love, we are worthy of love, and in fact, the entire world is really a beautiful place worthy of our attention and participation. If we connect with it mindfully, we will find everything is new and whole, even us.

Emotionally healthy people have the ability to be trusting of people and not be suspicious.

This one can be hard in the beginning. We’ve likely been hurt, and we live in a culture that is saturated in story and media messages filtering reasons not to trust. We don't hear enough of all the reasons we can and likely should trust. For example, it’s healthier for us to be trusting. It expands our consciousness and lowers levels of cortisol—the stress hormone—in the bloodstream which is connected to every major chronic disease leading to death. Being emotionally
whole includes surrounding ourselves with trustworthy connection and being a trustworthy connection for others.

Emotionally healthy people have the ability to deal with abstract reasoning.

Aside from the obvious, this suggests that we are not stuck in black-and-white thinking and can tolerate complexities of character—the shades of gray. No one is either all good or all bad, including the self. These moral characterizations are not useful and often lead to extreme emotional reactivity.

Emotionally healthy people have the ability to pursue their goals.

Being emotionally healthy is to be willing to struggle for what we believe in and for what we want, and to compete, if necessary, in order to see our goals realized. If we dissociate from ourselves and disconnect from our dreams because we believe it would be too much work, or we fear failure, we have gained nothing. At least in the struggle, we become stronger.

Emotionally healthy people have the ability to express and create.

Robert Firestone discussed how being harmed can cause people to block out their own needs, hopes, wants, and desires. We can become passive if we’ve been damaged and eventually become unable to express ourselves becoming disconnected from our goals. As a result of being hurt, this self-denial is a psychological defense.

Emotionally healthy people are independent.

They're neither submissive nor defiant, but independent. This characteristic is so glorious nothing else needs to be added!

In this episode of S*x, God, & Chaos, Ben Derrick and Roane Hunter dive into a concept they frequently discuss in their friendship and counseling work. They introduce a key phrase-often met with confusion-that, when explained, offers deep freedom and insight. The episode sets up a discussion on "spiritual bypassing" and its impact on personal growth and healing.
