Healing is NOT a one-time event. It’s an ongoing healing journey that continues to evolve as you grow, shift, and experience life.
Many people expect healing to have a finish line, one day you’ll wake up and never get triggered again. But healing doesn’t work that way. It’s a lifelong relationship with yourself that deepens over time.
As a Self-Trust Coach, I guide others through this ongoing healing journey while walking it myself. I still encounter moments of self-doubt, discomfort, and comparison. The difference now is that I meet those moments with awareness, compassion, and trust instead of self-criticism.
How can you build a business that feels aligned with your nervous system?
There are still parts of my business that don’t feel fully aligned, and that’s okay. As much as I’d love to streamline everything overnight, my nervous system needs safety first.
Big changes like updating offers, pricing, or messaging might sound exciting, but doing it all at once would feel overwhelming. Instead, I focus on small, steady shifts that feel manageable. This approach helps me maintain strong relationships with clients, honor my energy, and stay grounded in the process.
Alignment doesn’t come from rushing. It comes from integrity and nervous system safety.
How to handle comparison during personal growth?
Even after years of doing inner work, I still notice moments of comparison. It’s a deeply human impulse, and pretending it doesn’t happen doesn’t make it go away.
Sometimes I catch myself looking at what others are building and feeling that quiet voice whisper, “You’re behind.” When that happens, I remind myself that every time I feed that thought, I reinforce an old pattern rooted in not-enoughness.
Instead of trying to “fix” it, I set boundaries with myself. I can observe the comparison without identifying with it. Then, I shift my focus back to my own path, because that’s where my growth and power live.
Why do we feel pressured to always be evolving in our healing journey?
Many high-achievers approach healing like a to-do list, always looking for the next thing to process, fix, or release. I’ve done this myself.
But urgency is not healing. It’s a protective part trying to feel safe through control. When I notice myself slipping into that mindset, I pause and slow down. Healing responds to gentleness, not pressure.
Progress on your ongoing healing journey happens through presence, not productivity.
How do you strengthen self-trust during your healing journey?
Even with years of self-trust work, I still experience moments of second-guessing. Sometimes I reread my words, wondering if they’re clear or trauma-informed enough. Beneath that, there’s a fear of being misunderstood or corrected.
When that fear arises, I recognize it as my inner critic trying to protect me from shame. Instead of silencing it, I listen and respond with compassion.
Self-trust doesn’t mean you never question yourself. It means you know how to return to your center when you do. That’s part of the ongoing healing journey.
Why does healing still feel hard after years of inner work?
Healing isn’t about reaching a point where nothing triggers you. It’s about expanding your capacity to hold both joy and discomfort with grace.
You’ll still get triggered, and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It simply means that something in you still holds energy that wants to be witnessed and integrated.
When we stop seeing healing as a destination and start seeing it as a practice, we find more peace along the way.
Do practitioners still need healing support too?
Absolutely. I still work with a somatic IFS practitioner and check in regularly with my psychiatrist for ADHD and anxiety. Because even as someone who holds space for others, I need to be held too.
Support keeps me grounded. It reminds me that I don’t have to heal alone, and that I’m worth the same compassion I offer others. It also allows me to go deeper with my clients. You can only take others as far as you’ve gone yourself.
Healing is less about becoming someone new and more about remembering who you already are beneath the conditioning, fear, and expectations.
