Is this normal? Is this how healing is supposed to feel? Is this what’s supposed to happen after a session, a constellation, a remedy? Am I doing this right?
All questions that insinuate: I will heal if I just get it right.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the space between expectations and reality. The birth we thought we’d have. The relationship we thought would unfold differently. The money that was supposed to flow. The symptoms we thought we’d be done with by now. The way healing was supposed to go.
I’ve certainly found myself seeped in the disappointment of unrealized expectations…thinking:
I did everything right, and yet here I am.
Life seems to have a way of throwing a wrench in our plans. It gives us what we need not what we want, so it seems.
But maybe healing isn’t about getting to the other side of something, maybe those wrenches are here to help us turn towards that which we’re avoiding, running from, escaping.
Maybe it’s about learning to hold the polarities of life; the grief and the love, the fear and the gratitude, the darkness and the light.
And maybe healing is really asking us to practice seeing how all that we’re asking for is already here waiting to be witnessed, received and appreciated. And when we do that, our nervous system starts to learn that what we want is safe to fully receive..
“Take care of what God has already placed in your hands, so he knows you are ready for what’s next.” -unknown
I think when we ask, is this normal? Is this how it’s supposed to go?
We’re really looking for permission to accept with where we are.
From what I’ve learned, the more we can accept where we are, the more easeful the next step forward becomes.
In today’s podcast, I’m exploring what’s “normal” in healing, the polarities of expression, and finding presence in healing.
Enjoy!

Tornado season: what happens as we move out of survival mode
Last year it was wildfires and air pollution (https://healingwithpaula.substack.com/p/wildfires-syphilis-and-hope?utm_source=publication-search) - this years it’s big storms, floods, and whirling tornados.
And I don’t know about you but this is happening inside and out.
The last few weeks especially, it’s felt like everything that wasn’t firmly planted has been shaken loose.
Anything that wasn’t meant to carry forward, or wasn’t stable enough to hold the next iteration of life was made known.
In the midst of a big shift in our personal life, we were temporarily hit with the victimhood of
“Just when we thought things were going to get better…life happened yet again.”
In this weeks podcast I’m sharing a glimpse into the changes we’ve been navigating as my husband returns to work after two years of stay-at-home-dadding - and my return to self and receiving support.
I talk about the lessons from nearly ten years of building a practice through burn out, self-doubt, and unrealistic expectations.
We’ll also explore survival mode and what healing might unexpectedly look like after making a change that you thought was going to make everything better.
But most importantly - how our perspective shapes our experience.
Hope you enjoy the episode and find a tidbit that creates waves for you!
Talk soon,
Paula

All healing is self-healing
In this episode I'm sharing about healing as a responsive action - as inspired by life lately and my time in the container that is "Receiving the Mother".
