That Healing Witch

YOU MIGHT KNOW FIGHT, FLIGHT, FREEZE AND FAWN.

But recognizing them in your actual life is a whole different thing.
Because flight doesn't always look like physically running away.

Sometimes it looks like being the woman who never stops moving.

Freeze doesn't always mean standing completely still.

Sometimes it's staring at the email you need to answer for three days because your brain simply will not cooperate.

Fight isn't always yelling.

And fawn can look a whole lot like being the "nice," "easygoing," "low-maintenance" woman everyone loves because you rarely tell anyone what you actually need.

That's why learning your own patterns can be so powerful.

Not so you can slap another label on yourself.

Not so you can judge yourself every time you react.

So you can start noticing what's happening and get curious about what you need in that moment.

Because awareness creates space for a different response.

And sometimes the first step really is as simple as:
"Ohhhh. I do that."

So let's find out.
Which one shows up most for you?

Fight, flight, freeze or fawn?

And yes, "all of the fu***ng above" is an acceptable answer.

CUNTY IS HOT ...

Choosing yourself is c**t.

Going to therapy is c**t.

Doing the nervous system work is c**t.

Setting the boundary you used to be terrified to set?

C**t.

Resting without feeling like you need to earn it?

Extremely c**t.

Realizing that being able to tolerate absolute chaos isn't actually the personality trait you thought it was?

Also c**t.

I spent a lot of my life thinking strength meant being able to survive anything.

Push through it.

Handle it myself.

Keep going.

Don't let anyone see how hard it is.

But healing has changed what strength looks like to me.

Now I think it's powerful to say, "Actually, I don't want to live like this anymore."

To recognize your patterns.

To get curious about why you respond the way you do.

To ask for help.

To stop abandoning yourself to keep other people comfortable.

To take care of your body.

To learn what safety feels like.

To become softer without becoming smaller.

And to realize that healing isn't about becoming some perfectly regulated, unbothered version of yourself who never struggles again.

It's learning how to come back to yourself when you do.

And THAT?

So fu***ng c**t.

Okay, your turn.

What's something you've done for yourself or your healing lately that deserves to be called absolutely c**t?

I wanna hear it in the comments.

An old favourite. 🔁 When is it ok to skip out on self care? NEVER! ❌

You know how to survive.

You know how to push through.

You know how to show up exhausted and still get everything done.

You know how to say “I'm fine” and keep moving.

I know because I spent years doing exactly that.

What I've had to learn, and what so much of my work is about now… is something completely different:

How do you feel safe enough to stop?

Safe enough to rest.

Safe enough to receive.

Safe enough to have needs.

Safe enough to stop treating every fu***ng thing like an emergency.

That's why my Reiki work isn't about “fixing” you.

It's about creating a space where, for once, you don't have to be the strong one.

And maybe that's the kind of strength nobody taught us.

The ability to put it down.
