When Healing Turns Into Hiding: The Self-Sabotage of Over-Clearing


Listen Later

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the healing things — journaling, meditating, clearing energy, cutting cords, regulating, releasing — yet somehow feel more disconnected from yourself, this episode is for you.

Today we’re breaking down a quiet but common trap in the personal-growth world:

Healing so much that you accidentally disconnect from your humanity.

In this conversation we explore:

✨ Why “self-work” can turn into self-erasure
✨ The dopamine cycle behind constant “clearing”
✨ When emotional awareness turns into emotional surveillance
✨ How we confuse numbness for peace
✨ Re-learning how to feel without analyzing every feeling
✨ Re-entering life instead of constantly processing life

This episode is your reminder that:

You are not broken.
You are not a project.
You don’t earn worthiness through spiritual productivity.

Sometimes growth isn’t about clearing more —
it's about remembering you’re allowed to be human.

Inside the episode you'll learn:

🧠 How to recognize when healing has become control
💛 How to return to your body + emotions with softness
☕️ What a “no-healing day” looks like (and why it’s powerful)
🔥 A new mantra: “All of me is welcome here.”

This is your permission slip to stop over-improving and start living again.

✨ Try This Challenge:

Take one day this week where you don’t “work on yourself.”

No clearing.
No fixing.
No analyzing.
Just living.

Human first. Spirit always.
