I am often asked, why does healing sessions bring a drastic change in some peoples lives, while for some there is hardly any change. Why does this happen, when the therapy and the healer have been the same for both? Why am I stuck in healing? Why is my emotional journey not moving forward?
Healing isn’t always gentle. Sometimes it hurts. Sometimes it feels like you are stuck in the same dark loop — no change, no relief. If you have ever wondered, “Why doesn’t healing work for me?”, you’re not alone. You might be doing “everything right” therapy, self-care, positive thinking, manifestations and still feel stuck. Let’s explore the hidden reasons and how you can work through the struggles,
Healing doesn’t follow a straight line. It doesn’t climb steadily upwards. Instead, it often feels like a spiral: two steps forward, one step back.
There will be moments when you feel better hopeful, lighter, calm. And there will be times when old pain resurfaces out of nowhere. That doesn’t mean healing failed. It means you’re digging up buried layers, working through them.
Sometimes we expect healing to “fix everything fast.” We read about success stories, see before-after transformations and hope our pain will vanish overnight. But healing is not a magic trick. Real recovery happens slowly, with repeated care.
Just because you don’t instantly feel “better” doesn’t mean nothing is happening inside you. Growth starts silently inner shifts, subtle calm, small changes in reactions.
Sometimes, we approach healing with hesitation. We may intellectually understand our wounds but we don’t allow ourselves to feel them. We overthink, analyze, rationalize and avoid the pain instead of letting it surface. But emotions don’t disappear that way. They get buried and buried pain tends to resurface, stronger.
True healing isn’t just “thinking about feelings.” It’s allowing yourself to feel them sadness, anger, grief, fear and letting them move through you. This isn’t easy. That’s why many don’t go that deep.
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. If your life is full of ongoing stress pressures at work, unstable relationships, unresolved trauma, lack of safety or support then those external factors can drown the healing process.
It’s like trying to grow a plant on a rocky surface. No matter how good the water or soil if conditions remain harsh, growth becomes almost impossible.
Different people need different kinds of healing. What works for one may not work for another. If the therapy or healing modality you chose doesn’t resonate or you’re not emotionally ready then results may stall.

Also, sometimes deep healing requires not just talk but body work, somatic processing, nervous-system regulation, finding what truly helps your mind–body system. It requires you to dig deep
Healing doesn’t always announce itself with fireworks. Often it begins quietly, with small shifts in how you feel day-to-day, think about yourself, react to others. Healing happens in the quite, when you least expect it, when you start becoming aware of what's happening around you and inside of you. ”
If you look around and feel like healing “isn’t working,” maybe healing isn’t the problem. Maybe circumstances old trauma, external pressures, lack of support, wrong methods are making it hard to take root.
Your pain isn’t a failure. Your hope isn’t naïve. Healing is hard because it asks you to feel when you want to numb, to trust when you’re scared, to stay when it’s easier to run away.

So be kind to yourself. Give yourself time. Recognize that healing IS happening even when it doesn’t feel like much. Because healing isn’t about being “fixed.” It’s about learning to live with all that you are: the scars, the strength, the softness, and the silent, stubborn light inside you that refuses to give up.
