Collectively Unhinged: Therapy Talk

16. Time Doesn’t Heal All Wounds


Listen Later

“You’ll feel better with time.”


It’s one of the most common — and most misleading — things we tell people who are grieving.


In this episode of Collectively Unhinged: Therapy Talk, Courtnie and Melisa sit down with Coraliz Myrtil, LMHC, a grief and trauma specialist, to unpack why time alone doesn’t heal all wounds — and what actually helps people move through grief.


Together, they explore:

  • Why “time heals all wounds” is a persistent myth

  • What grief really looks like (and why it can resurface years later)

  • The truth about the “stages of grief”

  • How connection, community, and therapy can support real healing

  • What it means to live alongside grief instead of trying to “get over it”


If you’ve ever felt like you should be over it by now — this episode will remind you that healing isn’t about moving on… it’s about moving with your loss.
