The Healing Power of Human Connection: Relationships, Spirituality, and Becoming Whole

In this episode of Made to Be Whole, host Krista Michener explores the profound relationship between human connection and the healing journey. Drawing from Dr. Dean Ornish’s groundbreaking book "Love and Survival," as well as scientific research and personal anecdotes, Krista discusses how healthy relationships, spirituality, touch, and community participation are essential for our emotional, mental, and physical health—even offering protective benefits and improved recovery. She highlights both research studies and practical ways to foster genuine connection and move toward wholeness, regardless of current circumstances.


Topics discussed in this episode:

  • Why We Don’t Heal in Isolation: The importance of moving beyond loneliness and cultivating real-time, in-person relationships
  • Science Backs Community: How social support and faith dramatically impact recovery and mortality after serious illness and surgery
  • Healing vs. Curing: Exploring the difference between physical recovery and the deeper process of becoming whole
  • The Role of Vulnerability and Boundaries: Practical strategies for building supportive, healthy bonds without losing yourself
  • Technology, Touch, and Isolation: Understanding digital connections versus physical connection, and the critical need for human touch
  • Finding Connection When You Feel Alone: Steps to start giving, volunteering, and cultivating new, healthier relationship patterns—especially after trauma or hurt

  • Dr. Dean Ornish’s "Love and Survival: The Scientific Basis for the Healing Power of Intimacy" Book Link
