What Healing Looks Like When You Ditch the Self-Help Overload

You started your healing journey because you wanted to feel better. Lighter. More at peace. You wanted to break free from the patterns that have kept you stuck for years. But somewhere along the way, healing became another full-time job.

Your bookshelf is overflowing with personal development books. Your podcast queue is stacked with mindset hacks. Your morning routine takes three hours because you’re journaling, meditating, EFT tapping, and pulling oracle cards.

And despite all of this, you’re still exhausted.

If this sounds familiar, you might be experiencing self-help burnout—a sneaky form of self-sabotage where healing becomes another way to prove your worth, control your emotions, or avoid the uncomfortable reality that healing isn’t a straight line.
