You’re Not Broken. You’re Just Carrying Too Much.

Nov 25

Written By Shawn O'Leary

Some days, it’s not even about relapse.
It’s about how tired you are of holding it all together.

You’ve done so much work.
You’ve stayed sober. You’ve showed up. You’ve grown.

So why are you still so overwhelmed?

The small things feel big
You can’t seem to relax—even when nothing’s wrong
You’re snappy, exhausted, or numb
And deep down, you wonder:
“Am I ever going to feel truly okay?”

If this is you, I want to offer something gentle but important:

You are not broken. You are just carrying too much.

Recovery Is Hard. Carrying It Alone Is Harder.

Let’s be real: even when addiction is behind you, life keeps coming.

You still have:

Family patterns that push buttons
Old trauma stored in the body
Shame that shows up in the quiet moments
A nervous system that never got the memo that you’re safe now

So it makes sense that you feel tense. On edge. Like joy is just out of reach.

And it’s not your fault.
No one taught you how to release what you’ve carried—only how to push through.

Energy Healing: Letting the Weight Go

With tools like the Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code, we gently work with your body and energy field to:

Identify emotional burdens you’re unconsciously carrying
Unhook from old belief systems (“I’m not enough,” “I have to do it all myself”)
Calm your nervous system without force or retraumatization
Create space for rest, peace, and self-trust

Clients often say:

“I didn’t know how heavy it all was—until I felt it lift.”
“I feel clear. It’s quiet in my head again.”
“I finally feel like I’m not just surviving anymore.”

It’s Not Weak to Ask for Help. It’s Wise.

This isn’t about being “fixed.” You’re not broken.
This is about being supported while you let go of what’s never been yours to carry in the first place.

Healing can be light.
It can feel safe.
It can feel like home.
