The Truth About Solitary Healing (And Why It’s Great) ⋆ LonerWolf

There is a lot of content out there on how to heal only happens in society. How we must organize together with others to find true healing. How trauma is best healed through safe relationships.

Although this may have a degree of truth, I am here to confirm this treatment does not always involve other people.

It’s okay if your healing journey is alone.

First, not all of us:

1. Have access to safe and supportive people,
2. He wants to equalize to be around people (wave lone wolves there!).
3. Find this choose solitude is more healing than talking to others.

Although I have found that connecting with others helps some of them For other types of trauma, it can be the opposite. It can overwhelm, separate and close the mind and body. It can stress an already overburdened nervous system with fear, doubt, and unwanted social obligations.

Sometimes, we have to bury a cozy, quiet hole with a warm blanket and a cup of hot tea, watching the world go by.

Sometimes, we need empty spaces that allow us to hear ourselves own real inner needs rather than the incessant noise pollution of everyday life.

Sometimes this is the strongest form soul work available to us.

as a very sensitive introvertI find this often the most The healing and grounding moments I experience happen in total solitude, often in nature. These times of quiet contemplation allow me to think, dream, and breathe to replenish my life force.

Perhaps most importantly, they allow me to reconnect my soula deeper, true Self that feels connected to the whole glittering web of life.

To be honest, being in the hustle and bustle and interacting with others doesn’t allow me to do that most of the time. It has the effect of filling me up interactions based on words, ideas and egoall this weakens my soul rather than nourishes it.

I find that I need to be more often to find this sacred space released more filled. That’s why loneliness can heal like that.

Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Jung I once wrote to an old acquaintance and repeated these sentiments,

Solitude is a source of healing for me and makes my life worth living. To speak is often a pain to me, and many days I must be silent to escape the futility of words.

Don’t you just love how he uses his “suffering”?! It seems a bit… strong. But let’s talk to others and participate possible feel like torture, especially if you don’t have a physical, mental or emotional network.

So this is a short and sweet message to let you know you are not being “treated incorrectly” if it had been mostly solo travel so far.

No one can tell you what your healing journey should look like or what you need to do. Follow your instincts. If it’s to get a therapist, get it. If you spend most of that time taking quiet walks in the woods or sitting alone watching fluffy cat videos, do so. Your body and soul know better rather than a book or a YouTube video.

In the words of the poet Dodinsky,

Healing in solitude. Talk to your soul. Listen to your heart. Sometimes in the absence of noise, we find the answers.

Tell me, what unexpected practice has been the most healing for you so far—something not often discussed or affirmed? I’d love to hear in the comments!
