The Myth of ‘Getting Over It’: Why Healing Isn’t Linear

EMDR, Trauma /

“Just get over it already.” “That was so long ago—why are you still stuck on that?” Sound familiar?

Our culture loves the myth that healing should happen on a timeline, like checking off boxes on a to-do list. But here’s the truth: your healing journey looks more like a spiral than a straight line—and that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be.

In this post, I explore why the pressure to “move on” hits especially hard for marginalized communities, how your internal family system heals at its own pace, and why going “backward” in healing is actually a sign you’re ready to heal at a deeper level.

Your trauma didn’t happen to a timeline, and your healing doesn’t have to either. Every piece of your story—even the difficult ones—has a place in your beautiful mosaic.

From Fragments to Wholeness: The Philosophy Behind Mosaic Bloom’s Approach to Trauma Healing

EMDR, Making the Most of Therapy, Trauma /

Trauma, at its core, creates fragmentation. When we experience events that overwhelm our ability to cope, our brains often struggle to process and integrate these experiences into our life narratives. At Mosaic Bloom Counseling, our philosophy is built on the mosaic as a metaphor for healing—where fragments that might otherwise be considered broken are arranged to form something beautiful and meaningful. Through evidence-based approaches like EMDR and Internal Family Systems, we help you gather the scattered pieces of traumatic experiences and weave them into a cohesive, meaningful whole. The cracks between the pieces don’t disappear; they become part of your story’s character and strength. Your mosaic is waiting to bloom.
