When it comes to your healing and wellbeing, is it really that nothing is working for you —
or is it that you’re not allowing it to work?
That distinction matters more than you might think.
Being cynical or skeptical about healing isn’t automatically a problem. In fact, cynicism often starts as armor. It looks like protection from disappointment.
It says, *“This won’t work. I already know how this ends.”*
But instead of protecting you, cynicism is closed, defensive, and predictive. It shuts out help, hope, and connection — the very things healing often requires.
Because here’s the thing: healing usually asks you to try something *before* there’s proof it will work.
If your bar is always “prove it first,” nothing ever gets a real chance. Old stories stay reinforced:
“Nothing works.”
“People always fail me.”
“This won’t help either.”
Those narratives become self-sealing. You lock yourself down.
Cynicism isn’t a personality trait — it’s usually a response to pain. It’s learned after repeated disappointment. And while it can feel wise, it often keeps you stuck in the very cycle you’re trying to escape.
So what’s the alternative?
**Softened skepticism.**
This is discernment, not blind faith. It protects you from toxic positivity, scams, and spiritual bypassing — *while still allowing curiosity and possibility.*
Softened skepticism doesn’t ask you to abandon yourself or ignore your instincts.
It simply asks whether cynicism is still serving you — or quietly running the show.
Your healing doesn’t require belief without evidence.
It requires **permission**.
Permission for things to be different than they’ve been before.
