Healing (being healed) doesn’t mean not being triggered anymore, deleting trauma from your life, no more falling into mind traps. It doesn’t mean you’ll be perfect once you’re done (there’s no such thing as “perfection”). You may still fall into old mental pattern occasionally, you may still have triggers here and there.
In fact, healing means recognizing and accepting your emotional reflexes and needs, so that you don’t have to let them take over cause you know you are the one in control. It means knowing you have other options to choose from when triggers hit you, that won’t have you ending up in a burnout, overthinking or feeling overwhelmed by everything. It means you know you can choose your thoughts and reactions freely, without having to depend on your traumatized mind and what it wants you to think/feel (even if to keep you safe).
if you’re not obsessed with anything weird and niche please try harder. stop going outside for a while. consider getting weirder about the things you already like
