Many of us fall into a common pattern: we become so desperate to heal that we start consuming everything in sight - self-help books, podcasts, YouTube videos, TikTok tutorials, personality tests like the Enneagram, human design, and Myers-Briggs, hoping to find that one missing piece that will suddenly make everything make sense.

But here's the truth: healing isn't about collecting information. It's about changing your mindset, applying what you’re learning on the journey, and setting realistic expectations for how the journey is going to unfold.

3 Reasons Your Healing Journey Feels Like a Never-Ending Roller Coaster Ride...and what to do instead so you can finally feel grounded and at peace.

You’ve been doing the work. The journaling. The therapy. The affirmations. The breathwork. You’ve read every self-help book with a hopeful heart, thinking, “This time, maybe something will finally shift.”

But instead of feeling lighter, more confident, or more in control, it feels like you’re constantly being thrown around on an emotional roller coaster. One day you’re feeling on top of your healing game—and the next, you’re spiraling, triggered, and wondering if you’ve actually made any progress at all.

If this feels painfully familiar, you’re not alone. And more importantly—you’re not doing it wrong.

Let’s unpack why this keeps happening and what you can do to finally create lasting emotional stability on your healing journey.
