πβ¨ ACTUAL REALM OBSERVATIONS β¨π
Researchers regret to inform the Queen that healing appears instead to involve:
β’ noticing the same pattern approximately 4,376 times,
β’ repeatedly reassuring the same nervous system that yes, we are safe now,
β’ accidentally attending Ruminator meetings,
β’ forgetting everything you know and then remembering it again,
β’ one step forward,
β’ three naps,
β’ a dragonfly,
β’ another step forward,
β’ spontaneous crying in the grocery store,
β’ overwatering houseplants,
β’ wondering if any of this is working,
β’ realizing it is,
β’ de-sh*ttening operations,
β’ getting emotionally attached to fruit bowls,
β’ and repeating the entire process until death or enlightenment.
Whichever comes first.

The Butterflies would like it noted that they attempted to explain this from the beginning.
The Dubious Doubters would like it noted that they had concerns.
The Ruminators have now spent six consecutive hours analyzing why healing cannot be accomplished through a single decisive epiphany.
The Archangelic Oversight Committee continues searching the procedural scrolls for:
"The Seven Easy Steps to Complete Nervous System Restoration."
No such document has yet been found.

The Council of Trees has issued the following statement:
"The oak did not become an oak in a weekend workshop."
"The river did not carve the canyon through positive thinking."
"You cannot bully a butterfly out of a chrysalis."
"Also, please stop asking whether you are there yet."

Meanwhile, the squirrels remain emotionally overinvested.
Several have suggested speeding up the process by:
β’ panicking harder,
β’ overpreparing,
β’ catastrophizing preemptively,
β’ and consuming additional snacks.
Researchers remain unconvinced.

Grandmother Spider continues weaving.
Beloved Creator continues smiling.
The Queen of the Realm continues muttering:
"Honestly, this all seems unnecessarily complicated."
And perhaps that, too, is part of the healing.
Not because it's elegant.
Not because it's efficient.
But because somewhere in the middle of all the forgetting and remembering...
all the crying and laughing...
all the glitter and horse p**p...
you are becoming increasingly yourself.
Absotively posilutely.
Even if the timeline remains deeply unsatisfactory.
