Healing is a journey that often remains hidden behind the scenes. While we may see others sharing their stories of triumph and transformation, they seldom reveal the messy process that led them there. It's easy to fall into the trap of comparing our own healing journey to someone else's finished product, feeling inadequate or discouraged. However, it's essential to remember that healing is a messy process, filled with ups and downs, tears and triumphs. In this blog post, we'll explore the importance of embracing the messiness of healing, the power of journaling in the process, and how it paves the way for emotional growth and a brighter future.
The Messiness of Healing:
When we embark on a journey of healing, it's crucial to recognize that it won't always be smooth sailing. Just like building a house, the construction phase can be messy, chaotic, and time-consuming. Similarly, healing requires us to dig deep into our emotions, face uncomfortable truths, and unravel layers of pain and trauma. It's in this messiness that true growth and transformation occur. By acknowledging and accepting the mess, we create space for healing and allow ourselves to let go of what no longer serves us.
The Power of Journaling:
One invaluable tool that can support us on our healing journey is journaling. Writing down our thoughts, emotions, and experiences provides a safe outlet for self-expression and exploration. Journaling allows us to delve into the depths of our minds and hearts, uncovering hidden beliefs, fears, and patterns that keep us stuck. It provides an opportunity to release pent-up emotions, gain clarity, and gain a fresh perspective on our experiences.
Using Prompts for Deep Reflection:
To fully embrace the messiness of healing, it's helpful to use prompts that encourage deep reflection and introspection. Here are some prompts to get you started:
I never shared this with anyone...
When I think about (this situation), I can't help but feel...
Why is (this experience) always on my mind?
Why does it haunt me?
How could it end in a way I can move on?
From now on, I want to be more...
Take the time to sit with each prompt and allow your thoughts and emotions to flow freely onto the pages of your journal. Don't hold back or judge yourself—this is your space for raw honesty and self-discovery. It's in these moments of vulnerability that true healing begins to unfold.
Navigating the Journey of Healing:
As you embrace the messiness of healing and engage in the powerful practice of journaling, remember to be kind to yourself. Healing takes time and patience. It's essential to release any expectations or judgments you may have about your progress. Each step you take, no matter how small, brings you closer to a brighter future.

Healing is messy, but it's in embracing the mess that we find the strength to grow and heal. Through journaling, we can navigate the depths of our emotions, release what no longer serves us, and gain clarity and perspective. Remember, healing is not a linear process, and it's okay to experience setbacks or moments of uncertainty. Embrace the mess, trust the journey, and know that you have the power within you to heal and create a brighter future. Join the Journaling to Find Yourself workshop and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing. Embrace the mess, embrace the growth.

Olá! I’m a Ligia, a Trauma Informed Self-Healing Teacher, Journaling Therapist and Soul Calling Reader.
As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) myself, I understand the profound depth at which you experience life. My sensitivity has been both a gift and a challenge, intensifying the impact of childhood trauma and shaping my journey of self-discovery and healing.
I work with Highly Sensitive Souls who desire to heal past wounds and embark on their own self-healing journey. Together, we will rediscover who you are at a soul level, remember your truth, and reconnect with your sensitivity and soul’s calling.
I am the Founder and creator of the T.R.U.S.T™ Pathway, a transformative methodology designed to help you move from being wounded to becoming a cycle breaker. Through this pathway, you will heal imprinted ancestral, societal, and childhood conditioning, live an abundantly aligned life, and break the lineage cycle of pain, trauma, and abuse for future generations.
My unique approach combines my life experience, clairvoyance ability, inherent sensitivity and trauma-informed healing. I believe that true healing happens by befriending your shadows, not disowning them. This trauma-informed perspective ensures that we address the root causes of your pain with compassion and understanding, creating a safe space for your healing journey.
As a survivor of childhood abuse, bullying, depression, and anxiety, I know firsthand the struggles of feeling lost, lonely, and disconnected from life. My sensitivity made these experiences even more intense, but it also equipped me with a deep understanding of the healing process. I also understand the fear of the unhealthy footprints that our experiences can leave on our children.
It is my life's mission to heal myself and to help inspire others to end the cycle of trauma and pain with them. By sharing my journey and guiding you through yours, I hope to create a ripple effect of healing and transformation.
Know that I believe you. I hear you. I see you. And I'm here to help you find your own power to self-heal and embrace your sensitivity.
