Healing Has a Blueprint: How to Heal from Past Trauma

How to Stop Sleepwalking through life — Using the Healing Hierarchy.

Healing isn’t linear, but I discovered the importance of following a structured process. Skipping steps or going out of order can create stagnation or setbacks — much like building a house without laying a foundation.

A colorful pyramid chart titled "Hierarchy of Healing," divided into 8 levels, each representing a stage of personal growth and transformation:

Awareness (Red) – Awaken to the truth and accept your current situation.
Commitment (Orange) – Make a decision to embark on your journey and surrender to the process.
Congruence (Yellow) – Get clarity on what you want and align your goals with your values.
Liberation (Green) – Release negative emotions/beliefs and learn to love yourself.
Resonance (Light Blue) – Listen to your intuition while understanding the impact of your energy.
Resolution (Dark Blue) – Embrace discomfort and overcome obstacles.
Resilience (Purple) – Detach from outcomes and persevere.
Manifest (Top Gray) – The culmination of the healing journey, where transformation and desires materialize.
The pyramid visually progresses from bottom to top, symbolizing the sequential steps required for deep and sustainable healing.

As a Certified Hypnotherapist, NLP Coach, and Time Line Therapy® Practitioner, I’ve not only experienced this journey firsthand but also guide others to move through the same stages of healing with intention.

This is my story woven with the framework of transformation: a journey through loss, healing from past trauma, awakening, and liberation-where I succeeded, where I stumbled, and how skipping steps delayed my transformation.

Questioning My Existence

In early 2022, I found myself asking: What is the meaning of this? My life felt like eternal suffering, a cycle I couldn’t break. I wasn’t living, just existing — caught up in pleasing others while losing myself. I needed to awaken.

“I do my thing, I play my part. But am I really living? No…

Who’s measuring how good we get through it? Who decides whether we’re doing “well” or just barely surviving? It’s not like we get some gold star at the end of it all, “Look at you, you did it… you got through 1,000 shitty things in life and dealt with it. Congratulations. No one’s handing out awards for enduring pain. So what’s the point? “

That was my mindset at the time, stuck in an endless cycle-completely in my own way. I felt like I was constantly running through the same storm, but it never really would clear.

I’m consumed with making everyone else happy. All I find myself doing is giving. What brings me joy? I don’t even know. Obsessing over what I don’t have, what I can’t have, and what has already passed. This is no way to live; I don’t know how to be.”
