There was a time I thought I was feeling my emotions — turns out, I was just reacting to them.

I'd spiral into overthinking, distract myself with work, or scroll mindlessly through Instagram until the discomfort went numb. I wasn’t processing anything. I was dodging. And the worst part? I genuinely believed I was doing it “the right way.”

But discomfort doesn’t go away just because you’ve ignored it long enough. It waits. It stores. It builds. And then it shows up again — louder.

Sitting with your emotions isn’t about being dramatic or wallowing. It’s not about fixing, solving, or even understanding. It’s about allowing. Witnessing. Letting the emotion move through you instead of around you.

In this episode, I talk about what that actually looks like — the subtle shifts that matter, the myths we unknowingly buy into, and the reason your nervous system might still think emotions are unsafe.

If you've ever asked yourself, “Why am I still stuck even though I’ve done all the things?” — this one’s for you.

Let’s talk about what it really means to sit with your feelings — and why it might be the most healing thing you ever do.

See you inside.

There was a time I thought healing meant “feeling better.”

So I tracked everything. Every flutter in my chest. Every late-night spiral. Every moment I didn’t feel calm.

If I had a good day? I assumed I was finally making progress. If I had a bad one? Clearly, I was back at square one.

But that’s the trap — and it’s exactly why so many people stay stuck.

We’re taught to measure healing by how we feel. But the truth is that some of the most powerful signs that your nervous system is healing have nothing to do with feeling good. They're subtle. Quiet. Easy to miss.

And if you don’t know what to look for, you might think you’re broken — when in reality, your body is doing exactly what it’s meant to.

In this episode, I’m sharing 12 signs you’re healing that no one talks about — the ones you can’t always track in a journal or check off in a symptom app. They’re not flashy. But they’re the real indicators your body is rewiring itself.

Let this episode be the mirror that reflects how far you’ve already come.

Tune in — because if you’re still measuring healing by how you feel, it’s time to start looking deeper.

Key Takeaways:

Intro (00:00)

#1 Your friends and family will notice you're getting better before you do (01:25)

#2 You stop calling everything a setback (02:32)

#3 You’ve stopped hunting for new techniques (03:18)

#4 You start feeling every emotion to its completion (03:48)

#9 You just start laughing again (07:20)

#10 You can sit with the wave of panic and know it will pass (08:29)

At first, it was just a strange kind of fog. Not sleepiness. Not confusion. More like the world had turned into a movie set, and I was standing behind the camera instead of inside the scene.

It wasn’t dramatic. It didn’t scream for attention. But it stayed. Long enough to start asking questions no one wants to ask.

“Why does everything feel fake?”

“Why do I feel fake?”

The search for answers usually starts with fear. Brain scans. Heart monitors. Google rabbit holes. But nothing comes back conclusive — except the feeling that something is deeply off.

Then comes the second wave: the checking, the scanning, the constant mental spotlight trained inward. Noticing every flicker of disconnection, every passing moment that feels just slightly too dreamlike. And somehow, trying to fix it only seems to make it worse.

That’s the loop this episode unpacks. Not just what depersonalization and derealization are — but how they start, why they hang on, and why the brain might be doing something it thinks is helpful, even when it feels terrifying.

There’s more to it than distraction techniques or breathing exercises. Much more.

Tune in to find out what’s really going on — and what finally helped.
