The Corrective Experience

TerKeurst introduces the concept of the 'corrective experience,' which involves revisiting areas of past hurt with new, healing words and actions. She uses the example of Abigail’s interaction with David, where Abigail reassures David of his worth, countering the rejection he felt from his father. 'Her words were gentle, honoring, and life-giving. And most of all, they were filled with God’s truth.' This approach helps to rewrite the narrative of rejection and serves as a profound mechanism for emotional and spiritual healing.
