The Soul Healing Journey

The Power of Journaling : From Numbing to Healing

• Joanie Goyette • Season 1 • Episode 6

🎙️ What if you wrote instead of scrolled?

Welcome to the Soul Healing Journey Podcast—a space for dreamers, high-achievers, and seekers who crave deep healing, raw conversations, and self-discovery. 

In this episode, we're diving into something that changed my life: Journaling. Not the cute, aesthetic kind, but the raw, unfiltered, soul-shaking type that helps you break free from emotional numbing and avoidance.

If you’ve ever: 

❌ Used Netflix, scrolling, food, or overworking to escape your feelings 

❌ Felt overwhelmed but didn’t know how to process your emotions 

❌ Carried pain from the past without realizing it’s still affecting you…

Then this episode is for you. đź’›

Here’s what you’ll learn:

📝 Why we numb instead of feel—and how to break the cycle 

📝 How journaling acts as a mirror to self-awareness

📝 The psychology behind emotional displacement & transference 

📝 How to use writing as a tool to release stored pain & reconnect with yourself

📝 A simple way to start—even if you’ve never journaled before

📖 “We cannot selectively numb emotions. When we numb pain, we numb joy too.” — Brené Brown

You don’t have to run from your emotions. You don’t have to carry them alone. Journaling is your bridge from numbing to healing. Let’s start. 🖊️✨
