If healing was a straight line, we would all be healed by now. But healing is more like a spiral — you revisit the same issues at deeper levels, each time with more tools, more wisdom, more grace.
The Myth of Being Over It
We love to declare victory. Then something triggers the old wound and we feel like failures.
But here is truth: Having a bad day does not erase your progress. Feeling the pain again does not mean you are back at square one.
What Real Healing Looks Like
- You recognize triggers faster
- You respond with wisdom, not just reaction
- You give yourself grace on hard days
- You celebrate small victories
Keep going. Keep healing. The zigzag is part of the journey.
