Ep 201: The Healing Plateau: Why Progress Slows Down After Abuse and Trauma
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
At some point in healing, a lot of people hit this moment:
You were making progress.
You were starting to feel a shift.
And then… it feels like nothing is happening anymore.
It can feel confusing. Frustrating. Even discouraging.
In this episode, we’re talking about something that does not get talked about enough: the phase of healing where things slow down and it starts to feel like you are stuck.
If you have caught yourself thinking: Am I actually getting better? Why does this feel harder again? Shouldn’t I be further along by now?
You are not alone.
What many survivors don’t realize is that there is a phase of healing that is less about big changes and more about integration. And that phase often feels quiet, slow, and sometimes even uncomfortable.
In this episode, we talk about:
• Why healing is not linear and tends to happen in layers
• What the plateau phase actually is and why it matters
• Why things can feel slower after the initial stages of healing
• What is happening in your nervous system during this time
• Signs you are healing that are easy to miss
• Why comparison can make this phase feel worse
• How to look at progress in a more realistic way
• What actually helps during this stage
