Everyone who begins to do this work brings the same anticipation: that healing is a one-way street.

You think one day you wake up, and the thing that hurts won’t bother you anymore. There will be a before, and an after, and you’ll know the exact moment you felt completely healed.

What I’m going to say may disappoint you at first but it is the most liberating thing you are likely to read today.

That’s not how it works. And the fact that it isn’t working that way for you is not evidence of your failure.
