Healing often brings an unexpected and uncomfortable phase that few people anticipate. As old survival patterns like overthinking, anxiety, control, or hypervigilance begin to soften, a person may feel strangely disoriented rather than relieved. This happens because many coping mechanisms formed under stress become intertwined with identity, making protective behaviors feel like personality traits. When healing reduces the need for those defenses, the mind and body must recalibrate to a new sense of safety. This transition can feel unfamiliar, even unsettling, and may trigger self-doubt or confusion. Yet this experience is not regression; it is reorganization. True healing is not just the removal of distress but the gradual restructuring of how someone experiences themselves and the world. With patience and self-compassion, stability and clarity eventually replace the discomfort, revealing a more authentic, grounded sense of self.
