This episode explores the tangle between your defenses and your desire to be free. We'll expose the illusion of “feeling good” as a false measure of healing, revealing how defense mechanisms like avoidance, numbing, suppressing, fixing and bypassing often mask deeper trauma loops. This is a journey from escapism into embodiment, from coping into coherence. We’ll explore the false construct of comfort as a marker of healing and dismantle the illusion that “feeling good” equates to freedom. Instead we’ll reveal the deeper truth: that coherence is born of presence, and presence demands witnessing what was never allowed to be felt.
Takeaway: “Freedom isn’t about feeling better. It’s about becoming whole.”
