023- How to Be Your Own Medicine: Stop Waiting for the Person Who Hurt You to Heal You

Send us a text

We often wait for the person who broke us to bring us the medicine that will heal what they broke.

Their apology.
Their acknowledgment.
Their guilt.
Their suffering.

But when you give someone the power to heal you in the same way you gave them the power to break you, you place yourself in a dangerous position, because the source you’re waiting on has already proven to be a source of pain.

In this episode of Beyond Words, Najwa Zebian explores what it truly means to be your own medicine. Not as a way of becoming cold, detached, or self-sufficient in isolation — but as a way of reclaiming your power, your compassion, and your wholeness.

This episode is for anyone who:

• Is waiting for closure that may never come
• Gives endlessly to others but neglects themselves
• Confuses love with self-depletion
• Has been conditioned to believe they are last on their own priority list

Najwa speaks about:

• Why the person who caused the wound cannot be the source of the cure
• How people-pleasing trains us to abandon ourselves
• The difference between survival safety and expansive safety
• How to give yourself the empathy, validation, and care you give so freely to others
• Why revenge is a distortion of your medicine, and self-return is its true power

This episode includes a reading from Mind Platter and reflections from The Only Constant on healing, self-worth, and becoming the person you’ve been waiting for.
