Hi everyone,

I wanted to open a vulnerable and hopefully empowering conversation, especially for those of you who walk the healer’s path, whether professionally or simply in your own sacred way.

Have you ever had a moment where you thought, “Wait… I’ve already healed this. Why is it back?”
Or maybe you’ve felt like a complete fraud or imposter because your own shadows resurfaced—grief, rage, shame, anxiety—despite all the work you’ve done?

Recently, I wrote an article on here about this very experience: Dancing with Darkness: How to Reclaim Your Whole Self which was published 2 days ago.

It shares a bit of my story: how I spiraled into doubt when I couldn’t “light and love” my way through deep emotional pain, and how I eventually found wisdom in making space for the messy parts.

I’d love to hear from others:

Have you ever doubted your path because healing felt undone or cyclical?

How do you navigate those moments when your own pain resurfaces while holding space for others?

What has helped you reclaim wholeness—not just the polished parts, but the tender, wild, aching bits too?

I’d love to write another article soon and quote how other healers are navigating/ have navigated this.

Lots of love,
Lais
