S3E11: When the Lie Feels Safer Than the Truth: SOLO Episode with your host JACKEY HALL

Note: I shared this podcast episode during a particularly challenging week when my panic disorder was active and my thoughts felt tangled and overwhelming. I was repeating myself, struggling to express ideas clearly, and didn’t feel like myself at all. I almost decided not to post it, but since this podcast is meant to chronicle my healing journey, I wanted to offer an authentic glimpse into that reality: what struggling through panic and mental distress truly sounds and feels like.

Why This Matters

• Authenticity in Healing: Transparency about painful or chaotic moments reminds us that healing isn't always clean or straightforward—sometimes it’s messy.

• Validating Real Struggles: Sharing these vulnerable times can help listeners feel seen and less alone in their own waves of anxiety.

• Trust Through Imperfection: Communicating in the midst of panic, even imperfectly, builds genuine connection and trust with your audience.

 

In this episode of the Healing Sucks podcast, Jackey Hall explores the complex relationship between healing and the lies we tell ourselves. She discusses how familiar lies can feel safer than the truth, the psychological concept of cognitive dissonance, and the challenges of trusting safety after trauma. Jackey emphasizes that healing is a difficult journey that often feels uncomfortable, but it is essential for personal growth and transformation. She intertwines her insights with biblical references, making the conversation relatable for both believers and non-believers. In this conversation, Jackey Hall shares her personal journey of healing from trauma, discussing the complexities of feeling safe and the challenges of overcoming deeply ingrained beliefs. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing the lies we tell ourselves and the discomfort that often accompanies the healing process. Through her reflections, she offers insights into the nature of trauma, the significance of faith, and the necessity of patience in the journey toward self-acceptance
