Healing Beyond Mindset

Why ‘Just Let It Go’ Doesn’t Work in the Healing Process

We’ve all heard it.

“Just let it go.”
“Move on.”
“Don’t dwell on the past.”

Although said with good intentions, it can feel dismissive. Even painful.

If we could just “let it go,” we would have.
Because trauma doesn’t live in the mind alone - it lives in the body, in the nervous system, and in the patterns we've adopted to protective ourselves from further hurt.

🧠 Why Letting Go Isn’t a Choice — It’s a Process

Trauma isn’t just the event.
It’s the impact it left.
It’s the way your body still flinches when someone raises their voice.
It’s the way you silence yourself in a meeting because somewhere deep down you're afraid of getting it wrong.

When someone says “just let it go,” they’re often bypassing the very real, very lived experience of what your body has learned to do to keep you safe.

🌿 What most modern day healing misses:

1. Understanding Your Nervous System

Trauma reshapes your stress responses.
Whether you freeze, fawn, fight or flee — your body is doing its best to protect you, based on what it learned long ago.

These responses aren’t random.
They’re ancient survival patterns, passed down through generations - from a time when danger looked like the threat of being killed by wild animals

Your nervous system doesn’t know the difference between emotional overwhelm and physical danger.
It just senses 'unsafe' — and acts accordingly.

Healing means learning to work with your nervous system, not against it.

2. Getting to the Root, Not Just the Mindset

Mindset work can be powerful, but when trauma lives in the body, affirmations alone won’t shift deeply held beliefs of unworthiness or fear.

We need to safely access and release what's stored in the body — through somatic practices, emotional release, and nervous system repair.

💔 Why This Matters

Because the cost of not healing can look like:

• Repeating toxic relationship patterns

• Shrinking in your career

• Burnout from overgiving

• Chronic self-doubt and anxiety

• Feeling like you’re “too much” or “not enough”
