Healing Sucks

Note: I shared this podcast episode during a particularly challenging week when my panic disorder was active and my thoughts felt tangled and overwhelming. I was repeating myself, struggling to express ideas clearly, and didn’t feel like myself at all. I almost decided not to post it, but since this podcast is meant to chronicle my healing journey, I wanted to offer an authentic glimpse into that reality: what struggling through panic and mental distress truly sounds and feels like.

Authenticity in Healing: Transparency about painful or chaotic moments reminds us that healing isn't always clean or straightforward—sometimes it’s messy.

Validating Real Struggles: Sharing these vulnerable times can help listeners feel seen and less alone in their own waves of anxiety.

Trust Through Imperfection: Communicating in the midst of panic, even imperfectly, builds genuine connection and trust with your audience.

In this episode of the Healing Sucks podcast, Jackey Hall explores the complex relationship between healing and the lies we tell ourselves. She discusses how familiar lies can feel safer than the truth, the psychological concept of cognitive dissonance, and the challenges of trusting safety after trauma. Jackey emphasizes that healing is a difficult journey that often feels uncomfortable, but it is essential for personal growth and transformation. She intertwines her insights with biblical references, making the conversation relatable for both believers and non-believers. In this conversation, Jackey Hall shares her personal journey of healing from trauma, discussing the complexities of feeling safe and the challenges of overcoming deeply ingrained beliefs. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing the lies we tell ourselves and the discomfort that often accompanies the healing process. Through her reflections, she offers insights into the nature of trauma, the significance of faith, and the necessity of patience in the journey toward self-acceptance

For this month on the Healing Sucks Podcast, I wanted to focus on love—specifically, what we can learn from those in healthy, thriving relationships. The guests I have today come from very different backgrounds, each having faced their own battles—one with addiction and the other with PTSD from narcissistic, abusive relationships. After having Zach on my podcast last season, I quickly found myself captivated by their story and the strength of their bond. There’s something so powerful and inspiring in their relationship, and I knew there was a wealth of wisdom I could draw from them, especially in my own healing journey. Recovering from narcissistic abuse has been a long, painful process, and at times, I lost all hope in finding a healthy relationship—one where I could be loved for who I truly am, without fear of control or manipulation. Their story reminded me that healing is not only possible, but that love, real love, is something we can all find if we’re open to it.

The conversation explores Zach's journey through addiction, his recovery, and the supportive relationship he has with Rachel, who comes from an abusive background. They discuss the importance of trust, communication, and maintaining a playful dynamic in their marriage, emphasizing the need for authenticity and mutual support in overcoming personal struggles. In this conversation, Zach and Rachel discuss the complexities of their relationship, focusing on authenticity, communication, and the impact of past experiences. They share insights on navigating challenges, the importance of respect and love, and how mental health plays a role in their dynamics. Their candid dialogue highlights the significance of understanding each other's needs and the growth that comes from overcoming difficulties together. In this episode, Jackey Hall, Zach, and Rachel Livingston discuss the complexities of mental health, particularly bipolar disorder, and its impact on relationships.
