I’ve seen it everywhere—on spiritual blogs, in personal development circles, whispered in Instagram reels with glowing backgrounds and solemn voices:
“Detach from your emotions.”
“The more healed you are, the less you feel.”
“Negative emotions are a sign of something unhealed.”
And I want to call it what it really is: a distortion of what emotional growth and healing actually mean.
Because here’s the truth as I’ve lived and witnessed it:
Healing isn’t about detachment. It’s about connection.
When you’re on a true path of healing, especially emotional healing, you don’t become less sensitive. You become more attuned.
You don’t stop feeling “negative” emotions—you start understanding what they’re trying to tell you.
The Glorification of Emotional Numbness
There’s a subtle but dangerous belief circulating in spiritual communities—and even in some coaching spaces—that being unbothered, detached, or “above it all” is a badge of spiritual mastery.
But let’s look deeper.
When someone says they’re no longer triggered and they feel “nothing,” what if what they’re experiencing isn’t evolution—but suppression?
Because let’s be honest: what if that detachment isn’t emotional maturity… but emotional avoidance dressed up in spiritual language?
I’ve felt it myself—this subtle pressure to be “zen” no matter what. To feel less. To appear less reactive. To only speak from a place of love and neutrality.
But I’ve also realised that kind of emotional bypassing disconnects you—not just from others, but from yourself.
Real Healing is Messy. Human. Whole.
The deeper I’ve gone into emotional healing—and now into what I call Emotional Frequency Leadership—the more I’ve understood that our emotions, all of them, are sacred intelligence.
Sadness, anger, grief, even jealousy—they are not evidence that we’re broken or unhealed.
They’re evidence that we’re alive.
They’re evidence that something matters to us.
They’re messages. Invitations. Signals.
Of course, if we’re stuck in emotional loops, if we’re consumed by fear or drowning in suppressed rage, then yes—something inside us needs healing.
But the goal isn’t to stop feeling altogether.
The goal is to feel more clearly. To express more cleanly. To lead more truthfully.
Detachment ≠ Mastery
There’s a difference between being emotionally reactive and being emotionally connected.
There’s a difference between:
- being swallowed by your feelings
vs. - being anchored in your body while feeling them fully.
The truth is, you will never be completely free from “negative” emotion. Not if you’re still human.
And if someone is selling you that kind of spiritual bypassing as the goal—they’re selling you disconnection. They’re selling you silence. They’re selling you numbness.
That is not mastery.
That is spiritual ego.
Connectedness is the New Leadership
What I’ve come to see—in myself, in my clients, in the collective shift—is that we are not here to transcend our humanity.
We’re here to inhabit it fully.
We’re here to lead from emotional resonance, not from an empty, polished pedestal.
We’re here to feel deeply so that we can create authentically.
We’re here to stay present with our sadness and joy, with our boundaries and grief, with our anger and our love—and learn how to let those feelings shape our truth, our leadership, our brand, our business.
If You’ve Ever Been Told You’re “Too Much”…
You’re not broken. You’re probably just more awake to your emotional truth than the people around you.
You’re probably one of us—the feelers, the sensitives, the ones who’ve always known there’s something sacred in the tears, in the rage, in the ache.
The ones who were never meant to be emotionally detached—because we were meant to lead from a deeper frequency.
This is why Emotional Frequency Leadership exists.
This is why Brand Alchemi exists.
To remind you that you can feel it all and still show up.
To remind you that your emotions are not the enemy—they’re the map.
Final Thoughts: The Cost of Bypassing
When we glorify detachment, we normalise disconnection.
We create brands that feel flat. Leaders who feel unreachable. Messages that don’t land.
But when we start honouring emotion as an energetic frequency, when we start integrating it into our voice, our visibility, our business—we become magnetic.
Not because we’re perfectly healed.
But because we’re perfectly human.
And that’s the kind of leadership the world is calling in.
