    How You Know the Heart Is Beginning to Untangle with Elizabeth Gifford Maffei | Ep 21

    How do you know you're actually healing? Healing doesn't always arrive with a dramatic breakthrough. Sometimes the clearest signs are the quiet changes you almost overlook—responding differently to a familiar trigger, setting a boundary without guilt, accepting help, or simply feeling more at peace within yourself. In this solo episode of Untangling the Heart, Elizabeth Gifford Maffei explores the subtle signs that your heart is beginning to untangle and what emotional healing can look like in everyday life. In this episode, you'll discover: ✔️ How your reactions begin to change as you heal ✔️ Why the space between a trigger and your response matters ✔️ How healing can help you stop taking other people's behavior personally ✔️ Why healthy boundaries can begin to feel safer ✔️ How becoming comfortable with receiving can be a sign of healing ✔️ Why self-trust grows as emotional patterns loosen ✔️ How you can remember the past without reliving it ✔️ Why feeling more like yourself may be one of the greatest signs of healing Healing isn't always about becoming someone new. Sometimes it's about releasing enough of what you've carried so you can finally remember who you are.
