🧩 What Healing Actually Looks Like

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.
