We’ve been sold a dangerously linear vision of healing...

one that suggests progress means moving consistently forward, never looking back, and certainly never revisiting old pain.

This misconception creates shame when we find ourselves facing familiar triggers or patterns we thought we’d overcome.

But genuine transformation doesn’t follow a straight trajectory.

It moves in spirals - returning us to similar challenges and wounds throughout our lives, but each time with greater awareness, stronger resources, and deeper capacity.

This cyclical nature isn’t failure; it’s how integration actually works.

When you find yourself confronting a familiar wound that you thought was healed, you’re not starting over.

You’re encountering it at a deeper level, ready to address layers that weren’t accessible before.

The pain might feel similar, but you’re approaching it with a new perspective as the new current version of you.

Do you agree?
