The truth about “healing” is that it’s like a cosmic onion with infinite layers. When we courageously peel one back, integrating our lesson, we get a new one, moving on to the next layer. It’s a bit of a yo-yo effect, but eventually we surrender to the overall journey (I’m still discovering this aspect myself.) But for sure, when we’re deep in the shit, it can feel impossible at times. The good news is that the only constant is change.
THIS! Love that you used the onion analogy… it’s one of my favorites. And yes to it feeling like a yo-yo at times. Healing truly isn’t linear, and more often than not, it can feel like one step forward and two steps back… but ALL steps are healing. ❤️🩹
Indeed, all the steps are healing. The backwards slide has value because it gives us a fresh perspective on our advance forward, at least that's my latest insight.
