EP69 - Are You Stuck in the Healing Trap?

This week I unpack the concept of “the healing trap”—a state many fall into when the pursuit of growth, healing, and self-improvement becomes an endless cycle. While personal development can be empowering, and it is one of my core values, it can also become a subtle form of self-rejection if it’s driven by the belief that we are never “enough” as we are.  In this episode I explore the signs that you may be stuck in this cycle, the deeper fears and needs that drive it, and how to reconnect with presence, rest, and self-acceptance.  In this episode you will learn: What the "healing trap" is and how it can masquerade as personal growth How constant self-improvement can become a disguised form of self-rejection Common signs you're stuck in the healing trap and the deeper drivers behind this pattern Why presence, rest, and play are essential parts of growth How to hold space for both intentional healing and simply being Practical ways to step back from the healing hamster wheel and tune into your body’s wisdom - How will you start noticing when your pursuit of growth is coming from self-love—and when it might be slipping into the healing trap?
