What Releasing a Wound Really Feels Like

Why Saying YES to Yourself Sparks Transformation


You might think the healing process sounds pretty, but it commonly has a brutal process.


Healing sounds magical and dainty and gives off light and euphoric energy, but the real release work is usually a much different experience.


When you touch the root of a deep wound, you’re interrupting energetic patterns that may have been running your life for years, even decades, and then coming in and dissolving them.


As these stale layers lift, your body and mind need time to recalibrate.


This process can be different for everyone, but one thing that is for sure is that it can feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable offering all sorts of symptoms from: stomach pain, to dizziness, fatigue, extreme sensitivity, just to name a few.


So let's dive a bit deeper into what is happening here.



What You May Feel When You Release a Wound


When you release a deep wound, you may experience sudden emotional unwinding as long-stored feelings like grief, anger, and fear rise to the surface and then are alchemized, like we do in The Wound Release Method.


This alchemization process however, is not always instant. Sometimes this can take a week, to a month, a year or even to a minute.


If this is a more stubborn wound, the process can bring physical reactions to the surface as the energy moves. You could feel heaviness, fatigue, brain fog, or even agitation as your body works to move the old and welcome the new.


On an energetic level, a wound release clears space in your field, which can initially feel like a “void” before any kind of higher energy like TRUTH has taken its place and settled in.



What to Expect During the Void


After a release, your system needs time to process the shift, and it’s common to experience heaviness or fatigue as your body recalibrates. Emotional waves, old memories, and past choices resurfacing are all normal parts of this integration and are also signs that you need more healing in that area.


Because once cleared, you will have no more charge around this. Your memories will feel flat, your emotions will feel neutral. So if you are having these kinds of feelings and pictures in your mind, it's an indication there is more healing work to be done there.


You can also be on the lookout for moments of agitation, which may really be your ego resisting the new energy. These sensations are normal signs of shifting, kind of like an emotional detox indicating that the old patterns are shifting and changing, but may also be fighting to stay - your awareness is key here.


Signs You Have NOT Gone Deep Enough


If you have a very deep wound, which most of these Soul Wounds are, your initial attempt will shift a layer or two, but the root can still remain.


Don't panic, this means more layers will come to your awareness when you are ready. Healing happens in stages, and each release gets you closer to the root!


You are not doing anything wrong if it takes you a year to heal a wound. In my opinion, I would rather invest in that year, than think it's not possible and live under that wound's control for another decade.


If the wound has deeper layers to clear you might notice:


  • The same triggers still activate a strong charge. (When you are truly healed you are at neutral, so if you still get electrified, the wound is still active.)


  • You can logically understand the issue, but still feel emotions in your body when you think about it. (This is an indication there is more energy here and you have deeper work to do continue.)


  • Patterns keep repeating in relationships, work, or self-worth. When the wound is dissolved, so are the patterns around it.



How to Know You’re Fully Healed


A fully healed wound feels neutralized, the story has no emotional charge, and you can talk about it without pain, defensiveness, or shame. That's when you know it is gone, because there’s no charge around the memory and you feel a lightness or neutrality when it is brought to your attention.


This is when you know you have gone deep enough and this wound no longer runs your life, this space is called externalization. Externalization is when you see your reality shift on the outside because of the work you have done on the inside.



Diving All The Way IN


Unhealed wounds don’t disappear, they just get passed down to the people around you. They show up in your relationships, your self-worth, and the way you live your life.


Avoiding doing the deeper healing work means carrying this buried pain into every new experience you have, subconsciously waiting for the right trigger to let all the pain out. This is how so many people live.


But you can be different.


You can stay tuned in and engaged with the healing work and go even deeper into these wounds until they neutralize.


This is the kind of healing I teach you how to go through and then take others through in our Awakened Leadership programs for women + men.


With over 2 decades of spiritual healing experience, I unlocked the code to experiencing miracles and in this training, I have the time and space to explain every last detail to you. So you can heal deeper than ever before and experience miraculous healing results too!


This is a small intimate group container, where you work closely with me, Sophie, to get down to the absolute root of all these wounds and reactivate your soul purpose.


This means you are not just "walking woundless", you are walking in your soul purpose!


When You Heal, We All Heal


You have the power to heal the patterns that have shaped your life and, in doing so, you also help heal the collective. Your healing goes beyond you, it matters on a large scale. With the right tools, devotion and consistency you can go to the root of your wounds, break free from cycles that no longer serve you, and step fully into your soul's purpose to live out a life that feels satisfying at the end of the day.


And our proven methods in our Awakened Leadership programs for women + men give you the exact deeper tools to do this.


Now that you know that healing takes time and this process can look different for everyone, hang in there, because you are doing great. No matter how unfamiliar or uncomfortable some of the healing symptoms are, know you are making a difference and your freedom is closer than ever before.
