The Courage to Be Seen: What Healing Really Asks of Us
What if healing isn’t about becoming someone new?What if it’s about having the courage to finally tell yourself the truth?In this episode of Notes From the Edge, Lisa Lacy sits down with counselor Teddy Engels for a thoughtful conversation about self-awareness, personal responsibility, and the questions that shape our lives. Together they explore what it means to know yourself without judgment, why curiosity is more powerful than certainty, and how genuine healing begins when we stop trying to be fixed and start becoming fully seen.Rather than offering easy answers, this conversation invites listeners to ask better questions about who they are, what they’re carrying, and what they’re ready to release.If you’ve ever wondered what real personal work looks like, this episode is an invitation to begin.In this episode:• What it really means to know yourself• Why healing starts with curiosity instead of judgment• The difference between being “fixed” and being understood• What we should expect from therapy and from ourselves• How honesty creates lasting transformation• Lisa’s signature question: “What did you perform in order to survive?”www.lisalacy.comAbout Notes From the EdgeThese are the conversations we should have been having all along.Hosted by Lisa Lacy, writer, trauma educator, and executive advisor, Notes From the Edge explores trauma, identity, recovery, leadership, and the psychology of performing our lives.Subscribe for new conversations that challenge assumptions, inspire reflection, and invite you to stop performing your life.™Teddy Engels | LinkedIn Notes from the Edge with Lisa LacyHuman conversations about trauma, identity, recovery, reinvention, relationships, leadership, and the lives we build after survival.
