People think healing is:
• journaling
• meditating
• therapy
• reading books
• “time will fix it”
Healing is actually:
• confronting your triggers
• understanding the roots
• breaking generational traits
• grieving the childhood you didn’t get
• outgrowing people you love
• walking away from cycles
• setting boundaries that disappoint others
• realizing your nervous system was wired for chaos
• unlearning who you became to survive
And the hardest realization?
I wasn’t healing just one thing.
I was healing everything:
• childhood neglect
• emotional abandonment
• parentification
• alcoholism in the home
• spiritual confusion
• relationship trauma
• narcissistic cycles
• patterns I didn’t recognize until adulthood
• the wounds that only show up when you’re safe
Healing is never one wound.
It’s layers.
Hundreds of them.
