Why Healing Feels So Hard (and How to Make It Easier)
If you’ve been on a healing journey for a while, you might have asked yourself: Why does this feel so hard? You’re doing the work, trying different modalities, reading all the books, and yet… something still feels heavy, like you're pushing uphill with no clear end in sight.
The truth is, healing can feel hard—but not for the reasons you might think. It’s not because you’re failing or because something is wrong with you. More often than not, the struggle comes from the way we approach healing, not the healing itself.
So, let’s take a look at a few reasons why healing feels so difficult—and how to create more ease along the way.
You’re Carrying All the Weight Yourself
Healing isn’t meant to be something you force or push through. When you rely solely on your willpower to process, shift, and heal, it can feel exhausting—like you’re constantly trying to hold yourself together. But healing happens with support, and sometimes that means allowing some passive support (like homeopathic and flower remedies) to help encourage the shifts, instead of trying to make them happen all on your own.
You’re Stuck in Overthinking Mode
Healing isn’t just about what you understand—it’s also about what you experience. It’s easy to get caught up in analyzing your emotions, digging through your past, and trying to "figure it all out" in your mind. But healing happens in the body, in the present moment, and sometimes, the most profound shifts happen when you allow yourself to feel rather than overanalyze.
You’re Expecting a Straight Path
Healing isn’t a checklist or a linear process. Some days feel expansive and full of progress; other days, you feel like you’ve taken five steps back. That doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong—it means you’re human. The more you embrace the ebb and flow and laws of nature, the less resistance you’ll feel when challenges arise.
You’re Trying to Fit Yourself Into a One-Size-Fits-All Approach
Not all healing methods work the same for everyone. What supports one person might feel completely off for another. If you’ve been following every wellness trend and still feel stuck, it’s time to listen to your body, your emotions, and your unique system. The key is finding an approach that truly honors you.
