am i fixed yet, or just really good at pretending?
Description
This episode is a raw, unfiltered dive into the messy, nonlinear reality of healing. Is growth just another form of escapism? Are we truly getting better, or just better at avoiding what hurts? Society loves a clean-cut version of healing, but the truth is far messier—filled with spirals, distractions, and uncomfortable truths. If you’ve ever questioned whether you're actually healing or just numbing the pain with endless distractions, this episode is for you.
Topics Discussed: The illusion of healing vs. the reality of distraction, Society’s romanticized version of self-improvement, Numbing pain with social media, work, and entertainment, The fear of never actually healing, The danger of distractions masking real emotions, The cycle of pretending to be fine vs. truly facing the pain, The struggle of accepting uncertainty in the healing process, The pressure to “have it all figured out”, Finding meaning in just surviving, and The importance of showing up, even in the mess
