The Why Of It All Episode 22: Backslide Or Growth Spiral? Revisiting Old Wounds with New Eyes
In this raw and refreshingly honest episode, Melanie and Gina unpack the reality of “the backslide”—those messy, discouraging moments when it feels like all your healing progress just unraveled. From skipping self-care routines to re-engaging old relationship patterns, they share real-life stories of slipping back into old habits and deprioritizing your own well-being—and how those moments often carry unexpected invitations for growth, self-compassion, and deeper integration. They dive into the concept of the growth spiral—revisiting old wounds from a higher level of consciousness—and how to tell the difference between revisiting a wound for healing versus staying stuck in a destructive loop. They ask, “what if a backslide isn’t a backslide at all? But a part of the natural healing process and an opportunity to gain new perspective and make adjustments in your healing journey?” Along the way, they explore emotional reactivity vs emotional mastery, discipline versus intuition, letting go of shame around the backslide, and why sometimes the most healing thing you can do... is to get yourself a big whiff of puppy breath. Whether you’ve hit a wall, dropped the ball, or ghosted your own healing for a minute—this conversation will help you make peace with the backslide and move forward with more grace, self-compassion, and perspective.
