Healing Visibility Wounds: The Truth Behind The Fear Of Being Seen

Posted on August 13, 2025 by Caroline Hull, One of Thousands of Spirituality Coaches on Noomii.

Visibility sounds simple until you actually have to be seen. In this powerful episode, I’m opening up about the deeper truths behind showing up—online, in your business, and most importantly, in your life. If you’ve ever felt like you needed to shrink to stay safe, or like you were performing instead of living, this conversation is for you.

Together, we’ll explore the idea of the visibility wound—what it is, how it shows up in your day-to-day life, and how to begin healing it. This isn’t about growing your platform or getting louder. This is about reclaiming your voice, reconnecting with your body, and remembering that being seen is a sacred act.

What Is The Visibility Wound?

It’s the ache that flares when you press “post.” The inner tension between wanting to be seen and fearing what will happen if you are. It often comes from lived or inherited experiences of being criticized, overlooked, misunderstood, or shamed when we dared to show up fully.

This episode invites you to explore the places where your voice feels quieted—and how that may not be about fear of failure, but fear of being truly seen.

The Performance Trap

We talk about how easy it is to perform online: to speak with polish, pose for the algorithm, and hide behind strategy. But when you’re always performing, you disconnect from your body, your intuition, and your truth. That’s not sustainable. That’s not freedom.

Healing visibility wounds isn’t about being louder. It’s about being honest. It’s about learning how to show up with your whole self—and doing it in ways that feel safe, embodied, and true.

Reclaiming Your Voice

I share a personal story about my own unraveling from the “always together” version of visibility. Through nervous system healing, reconnecting with my body, and allowing space to not have it all figured out, I found a softer way forward. A way that feels sustainable, not performative.

If you’ve ever felt tension around showing up for your work—or you’re craving a more aligned, embodied way to share your voice—this episode is for you.
