You Don’t Need to Relive It to Heal It

Let’s drop the niceties and get real about this healing thing.

The healing industry, or more accurately perhaps, the therapy industry, is obsessed with the past. As if digging up every wound, every trauma, every broken moment is the only way to heal. You’re told to go back, pick through the pain, analyse the damage, and only then will you be “ready” to move forward.

But what if that’s not always true? What if that is just a way of throwing someone deeper into their trauma? Which it most certainly can do.

I’ve worked with people whose trauma was long-standing and deep. And yet, the biggest breakthroughs didn’t come from reliving old pain. They came from something else entirely, reconnecting to what was already whole. No picking apart the past, (unless it provides solid context for the future). Just building stability in the now, building excitement about the future, and letting the system recalibrate, and watching the shifts unfold.

Healing doesn’t have to be a forensic operation. Sometimes, it’s about dropping the story altogether and letting the nervous system learn a new way of being. Reformatting the nervous system is rarely done by diving into all that trauma that has screwed it over in the first place. That just embeds the trauma even more.

Moving forward and focusing on stability is the goal of true healing. And that starts with reconnecting with that part of you that was never damaged in the first place.

Website Now Live
My new site is now up and running. A few behind-the-scenes tweaks are still happening, but it’s fully functional (sort of) and ready for you to explore here: www.stevegooch.co

Coming Soon: The Abundant Self Workbook
This workbook is designed to radically shift how you live, think, and take action. It’s not another journaling exercise, it’s a deep, practical toolkit to help you shift identity-level patterns and start operating from abundance, not fear.
More on that very soon. Here’s a snippet:

Something in your life needs to shift. It might be on an emotional level, a physical level (including the circumstances of your life) or it might be on a material level. This is your chance to look more clearly at what’s been shaping your life, and how to start changing it in a real and lasting way that will increase the quality of your life on all levels. This workbook is where you can start to move your life forward. Think of it as a mirror or a flashlight, it’s a way of illuminating what you’ve been doing wrong and how you can fix it. It’s something that’ll help you see where you are and where you could be heading.
