Being self aware doesn’t always mean healing.
What it can mean is that you’re great at talking about how you feel, while bypassing feeling your feelings.
It’s a way you can skip the emotional labour by keeping things surface level and avoiding feeling anything too deeply. Especially when it’s hurts or makes you feel vulnerable.
Self awareness isn’t a bad thing but intellectualising your feelings has it’s limitations.
It means you never really process your emotions. You just talk your way through them.
That keeps you stuck in your head and disconnected from your body.
Being very self aware but knowing what to do next is quite a combination.
