Healing is supposed to feel better… right?

So why does it sometimes feel like you’re becoming more emotional, less certain, and unsure of who you are?

In this episode of Shift Happens: Embrace the Change, Ashley explores the part of healing no one talks about — the in-between season where the survival version of you is loosening, but the regulated version of you hasn’t fully formed yet.

You’ll learn why healing can feel destabilizing at first, how survival mode shapes identity, and why sensitivity, slowing down, and uncertainty are often signs that your nervous system is finally beginning to feel safe.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “getting worse” instead of better, this episode offers a compassionate reframe: you may not be losing yourself — you may be meeting yourself without survival mode running the show.
