I used to think healing was about collecting better advice.
“𝘚𝘦𝘵 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴.”
“𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘨𝘰.”
“𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧.”
And I tried — I really did.
But late at night, when everything got quiet, I still felt heavy.
Not because the advice was wrong…
But because advice can’t hold space for the parts of you that don’t know how to let go yet.
Therapy isn’t about being told what to do.
It’s about being witnessed,
in the moments when you don’t have words,
when the mask starts to slip,
when you realize you’ve been surviving on autopilot for years.
That’s where healing starts,
not in the advice,
but in the understanding.
And when you finally feel safe enough to stop performing “fine,”
something in you starts to breathe again.
There’s more to healing than words of wisdom,
and maybe that’s what you’ve been craving all along.
If this resonates, stay awhile.
We talk about the kind of healing that lasts. 🌿
