You Don’t Need Healing — You Need Honesty – Alan Watts

We live in an age obsessed with healing.
Healing trauma. Healing wounds. Healing the past.
And yet, the more we focus on being broken, the more broken we seem to feel.

In this profound philosophical reflection inspired by Alan Watts, we explore a deeply uncomfortable idea: what if much of what we call “healing” is actually a way of avoiding honesty?

This talk invites you to question the modern belief that you are damaged and in need of constant fixing. It explores how the ego uses the language of healing to protect itself, how pain can become an identity, and why radical honesty feels far more threatening than suffering.

You’ll discover why:

The idea of being “broken” can feel strangely comforting

Endless self-improvement can become another trap

Honesty dissolves identity rather than repairing it

Real healing happens when resistance ends

Peace appears when the project of fixing yourself collapses

This is not a message about becoming better.
It is an invitation to see clearly — without explanation, without justification, and without self-deception.

If this perspective resonates, it may not be because something new is being added to your life, but because something false is finally being seen through.
