This is why you're struggling to heal, even when you want to || Things We Say in Therapy Pod Ep.10

In this episode of Things We Say in Therapy, we explore why so many people avoid healing, even when their mental health struggles affect their daily lives and relationships. From stigma and generational beliefs to fear of vulnerability, emotional numbness, and bad therapy experiences, we break down the real reasons healing feels terrifying. We also look at how chaos and self-sabotage can become a comfort zone and why suppressing emotions only makes them louder. Finally, I share gentle, practical steps to start facing difficult feelings safely and with self-compassion. Healing is messy and difficult, but it’s possible and you deserve it.
