What if you’re actually healing and you don’t even realise it?We often think healing means getting over the past, never feeling triggered again or reaching a point where nothing bothers us. But real emotional healing can look very different.In this episode of Pretty Spiritual, Shay and Amy explore the signs of healing you might be overlooking, from setting boundaries and learning to say no to recognising emotional triggers and responding to difficult situations differently.They talk about why healing isn’t linear, why old emotions can resurface months or even years later, and why having a bad day doesn’t mean you’ve lost all the progress you’ve made.They also explore healing after a breakup, people pleasing, self-awareness, mismatched relationships and the importance of understanding your own needs and values.Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that healing isn’t about becoming emotionless or expecting yourself to be perfectly healed. It’s about learning to understand your emotions, process what comes up and make different choices as you move forward.Shay and Amy finish with a simple daily reflection to help you recognise the progress you might otherwise miss.Ask yourself: What did I handle differently today?Have you noticed any signs that you’re healing recently? We’d love to hear about your experience.Follow Pretty Spiritual for more honest conversations about spirituality, emotional growth and the healing journey.
