When Healing Turns Into Hiding: The Self-Sabotage of Over-Clearing
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the healing things — journaling, meditating, clearing energy, cutting cords, regulating, releasing — yet somehow feel more disconnected from yourself, this episode is for you.
Today we’re breaking down a quiet but common trap in the personal-growth world:
Healing so much that you accidentally disconnect from your humanity.
In this conversation we explore:
✨ Why “self-work” can turn into self-erasure
✨ The dopamine cycle behind constant “clearing”
✨ When emotional awareness turns into emotional surveillance
✨ How we confuse numbness for peace
✨ Re-learning how to feel without analyzing every feeling
✨ Re-entering life instead of constantly processing life
This episode is your reminder that:
You are not broken.
You are not a project.
You don’t earn worthiness through spiritual productivity.
Sometimes growth isn’t about clearing more —
it's about remembering you’re allowed to be human.
Inside the episode you'll learn:
🧠 How to recognize when healing has become control
💛 How to return to your body + emotions with softness
☕️ What a “no-healing day” looks like (and why it’s powerful)
🔥 A new mantra: “All of me is welcome here.”
This is your permission slip to stop over-improving and start living again.
✨ Try This Challenge:
Take one day this week where you don’t “work on yourself.”
No clearing.
No fixing.
No analyzing.
Just living.
Human first. Spirit always.
