Episode 8: Healing isn't Linear, It's a Spiral

We often talk about healing like it's a straight line, from pain to peace, from trauma to transformation. But real healing? It's messy, nonlinear, and layered. In this episode, we unpack the spiral nature of healing-how you can circle back to old wounds AND still be growing. I'll share how your brain and body store emotional pain, how neural pathways and survival patterns show up when you least expect them, and why revisiting hard feelings doesn't mean you've "failed."We'll also explore how Polyvagal theory, safety, and self-trust are essential to staying grounded on the healing journey. Whether you're feeling stuck, triggered, or like you're "back at square one", this episode is here to remind you: you're not broken, you're becoming.Book recommendation: My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakemhttps://a.co/d/1Cwal1d
