The #1 Energy Block Stopping Healers: Fear of Self (And How to Clear It)
As a healer, have you ever felt stuck, hesitant, or overwhelmed, unable to fully step into your gifts? Maybe you’ve questioned your worthiness, feared judgment, or struggled to define your unique path. These feelings might not just be temporary doubts—they could stem from a deeper, energetic block known as the fear of self.
This pervasive block isn’t just about mindset; it often originates from past life traumas, ancestral imprints, and even early life experiences in this lifetime. The good news? The fear of self is not permanent—it’s what I call a Mutable Subconscious Archetypes(SA), which means you have the power to transform it and reclaim your full potential as a healer.
In this blog, we’ll unpack what the fear of self is, how it impacts your healing practice, and most importantly, practical steps to clear it.
What Is the Fear of Self?
The fear of self is an energetic block that creates resistance to fully embracing your identity as a healer. It shows up as subconscious behaviors and emotions that hold you back from stepping into your power. Think of it as a deeply ingrained program within your energy field—a pattern shaped by lifetimes of experience.

Root Cause: Comparing yourself to others and feeling "not good enough."

Steps to Clear the Fear of Self
Clearing the fear of self involves awareness, energetic clearing, and realigning with your highest potential. Here’s how you can start:
1. Awareness and Reflection
Begin by journaling to uncover the root of your fears. Ask yourself:
What fears arise when I think about fully stepping into my gifts?
Do these fears feel like they’re mine, or could they stem from another lifetime?
Reflecting on these questions helps you identify the block and brings it into conscious awareness.
2. Energetic Clearing Visualization
Use this powerful visualization to release energetic imprints:
Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
Imagine a golden light surrounding you, dissolving cords or imprints from past lives or this one.
Visualize yourself standing confidently in your power, free from fear or judgment.
This process also calls back energy and soul fragments that may have been left behind due to trauma.
3. Affirmations for Reclaiming Power
Reprogram your subconscious mind with empowering affirmations like:
“I am safe to use my gifts.”
“I release all fears tied to past life trauma.”
“My gifts are a force for good, and I am worthy of sharing them.”

Subconscious Archetypes.
Energetic contracts with entities or systems that no longer serve you.
The fear of self is not a permanent part of who you are—it’s simply a Mutable Subconscious Archetype that your soul picked up through lifetimes of experience. By addressing this block, you free yourself to fully embrace your gifts, step into your healer archetype, and create the thriving practice you’re destined for.
