“Am I healed yet?”
“How long will this take?”
“Why does it feel like I’m back where I started?”
If you’ve ever asked
these questions, pause — and gently embrace the part of you that’s rushing.
We often treat healing
as an item on a checklist:
Complete → Move on → Never feel hurt again.
But healing has never
been a straight line.
It’s more like a spiral, a seasonal cycle, a soul’s circular
dance home.
When it feels like
you’re “back at square one,” you’re actually revisiting the same theme — at a deeper
level.
When emotions still arise after you thought you were “done,” your body may
simply be releasing — in its own time, in its own way.
That’s not failure.
That’s the truth of the journey.

Real Experience:
In my own deepest
healing phase, I used to wonder constantly, “When will I be done?”
But one day, amidst tears, I heard my body say:
“I’m not in a hurry. I’m slowly coming home.”
From that moment, I
started to trust the wisdom of my body, instead of imposing deadlines
with my mind.
I began to accompany
myself — rather than trying to fix myself.

Reflection Prompts:
- Have you unconsciously treated healing as
a task to “finish”?
- What happens when you stop chasing the end
result — and tune in to healing’s pace?
- If healing is a journey, how would you most lovingly accompany yourself?
