5 Coping Strategies That Kept Me Stuck in Healing (And How I Finally Moved Forward)

For years, I thought I was healing "the right way" - journaling, researching, staying aware. But I kept feeling stuck. Looking back, I realize I was using coping strategies that felt healthy but actually slowed down my emotional healing process. In this video, I share 5 unconscious patterns that kept me stuck in my own healing journey after loss, breakup, and trauma. These strategies are so subtle they feel like progress—until you realize they're keeping you from actually processing your emotions. The 5 strategies: Intellectualizing (researching instead of feeling) Fantasy (staying attached through imagination) People pleasing (managing others' emotions to avoid your own) Information gathering (tracking instead of healing) Spiritual bypassing (meaning-making to avoid grief) If you're healing from a breakup, betrayal, loss, or any difficult situation and feel stuck despite doing "all the right things," this might help you see what's actually happening.
