If people healed their issues, half of these apps, coaches and courses would go bankrupt.

I think they would come up with new things that are wrong with you that need fixing tbh...

What I've come to learn is that there is no real “healed” state. It’s a journey. I’ve done lots of therapy etc from cbt, Emdr, reiki etc and nothing has miraculously healed me. But, some self help books and self improvements have been enlightening and showed me lessons I needed to learn. We all have issues that we will likely have to live with so I don’t think we will ever be healed, that’s the nature of life not a failure in self help or coaches.
