🎯 Let’s be real—healing isn’t easy. And half the time, it’s not the pain that stops us.
It’s the fears, doubts, and outdated beliefs we’ve picked up along the way.
💖 If you’ve ever felt unsure about starting your emotional healing journey, you’re not alone.
💡 How about clearing up some of those myths to make your journey feel a little lighter?
THE MYTH ABOUT EMOTIONAL HEALING
⛔ “Therapy is for people who are broken.”
⚠️This myth creates shame around seeking help, and makes healing feel like a punishment rather than an act of self-care.
✅ The Truth: Therapy is not about fixing a broken person; it’s about understanding and integrating different parts of yourself.
Carl Jung taught that healing is a journey toward wholeness.
Emotionally healthy people often choose therapy to grow and improve—not because they are damaged, but because they are committed to evolving.
🧠 Shift Your Mindset: You don’t go to therapy because you’re broken.
- You go because you’re brave enough to face your inner world.
- Just like going to the gym builds physical strength, therapy builds emotional resilience and self-awareness.

Good reminders and perspective. I stopped reading self-help and trying to improve myself because I felt broken and was tired of trying to improve or fix myself.

Some self-help books really help us, while others only make us more emotionally insafe and dependent on shallow solutions. Thank you for coming by. ☺️

You seem to have learned and gained a lot. Kudos. I stopped (after 20 years!) since it fed my sense of brokenness. Now I focus on self-acceptance, love, and enjoying life.

I think I did, considering how much my life has improved.
And congrats on your journey! Twenty years of inner work is a huge deal.
I’m all about self-acceptance, love, and enjoying life, just like you, but trauma healing, the blog’s main theme has become a professional goal for me, as I’m studying psychotherapy.

I understand and admire your dedication to personal growth and helping others. I found it all rather tedious. 😊

What exactly do you feel is boring?

I guess tedious is the better word and description. I spent far too much of my time and life analyzing myself rather than living life.

Totally get that. If we obsess over one side of things, we’re just gonna end up getting sick of it and swing to the other side. I’ve definitely been there way too many times.

Most of us are broken at some point. It’s a broken world. But a broken bone will sometimes heal stronger. ❤
