The 3 Biggest Lies About Healing

Healing is often packaged like a quick fix. Buy the course, say the affirmation, manifest your best life by next Tuesday. Just "believe" and life will match your thoughts. Then it doesn’t happen and you’re left wondering, discouraged. I hate that mainstream media has made a healing an accomplishment and shaded the fact that it's a life long journey. You’re being fed lies about healing that were never meant to serve you. So here I am, exposing them so you can stop spinning and start living your intended life.

Lie #1: "You're not healing, you're avoiding."

Now while this can be true in some instances, we have to consider healing isn’t a straight line. It’s not cry, journal, admit you fucked up, meditate, cord cutting, BOOM healed. Real emotional healing is cyclical. You may feel great for weeks, then something small triggers the f out of you. You may recall something you said, now you're swimming in regret.

This process consists of revisiting old wounds you thought you "cleared", but with new perspective. Outgrowing coping mechanisms you once needed for survival, before you knew more. Healing spirals upward — revisiting layers with more awareness each time. So If you feel like you’re "backsliding," it doesn’t mean you're failing. It means you're integrating at deeper levels. Obviously, that looks different for each of us. What's shifting internally may not show itself externally for years.

Lie #2: "If you're still struggling, you’re not doing the work."

Many healing spaces weaponize struggle. They make it sound like if you aren’t "better" yet, you must be lazy, resistant, or in denial. Reality check: Struggle is a sign that your nervous system is rewiring. It’s a natural (and often messy) part of emotional detox. In fact, I would even go as far as saying that's the sweet spot that makes or breaks your journey. If it gets hard and you give up, you've lost the battle and the war. When it gets difficult and you keep pushing through it, that's your higher version breaking through the surface. So if you're showing up imperfectly but consistently, you are doing the work. Healing doesn’t reward perfection, it supports lasting change and aids your personal transformation.

Lie #3: "I'm healed, nothing can get past me now!"

This might be the most damaging myth of all. Healing doesn’t make you invincible or impenetrable. It doesn’t make you immune to sadness, fear, or pain. True healing upgrades your resilience, not your invulnerability. You’ll still feel things deeply. Probably deeper than before because you can access more of you on a spiritual level now. You’ll still have hard days, and since you can now see from a place of strength and logic instead of stress and anguish, they will be more frustrating at times. The differences though will be stark. You’ll move through challenges faster. You’ll self-correct with compassion instead of negative self-talk. You’ll trust yourself even when you’re uncomfortable. Healing doesn’t erase your humanity. It deepens your mastery of it.

"Nothing changes if nothing changes."

So... What Actually Works?

If you want real transformation, start with consistency. Motivation fades, discipline and consistency will make you a warrior. Implement small things today, for example:

✦ Tiny daily acts of alignment, not giant leaps. Starting small is still a start.

✦ Somatic integration. Healing must happen in the body, not just the mind. Tap in with yourself. Literally. Tapping helps reset and regulate the nervous system. Deep stretching, preferably those that release stagnant energy.

✦ Compassion for your timeline. Stop letting someone's else journey determine how you venture through your own. You are right where you're supposed to be, so focus baby.

There’s no cheat code, no quick exit, no magic shortcut. But there is freedom — and it belongs to those willing to stay with themselves even when it gets messy. The truth about healing is simple: It’s not about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you were before the world forced you to forget. You’re already closer than you think. As a matter of fact, level up right now by running your charts and downloading your Soul Blueprint.

Keep going.
