## Resource

I've spent over a decade in the self-development space, and somewhere along the way, I began to see a pattern: the more people focus on healing, the more their lives start to revolve around what's wrong. More analyzing, more processing, more regulating and less living, less connecting, less being. So in this episode, I want to talk about something that might feel uncomfortable, even controversial: there comes a point when trying to heal all your trauma can actually keep you stuck and why you may need to stop, or at least do it very differently.
