WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT
Noah Cyrus on inner-child healing, recovery, and redirecting self-worth
- Noah Cyrus describes how consistent therapy helped her link present struggles to childhood pain and make healing her inner child a current priority.
- She shares that early body dysmorphia and intense bullying about her appearance fueled shame, loneliness, and ongoing trust issues even when others reassured her.
- She explains that making her album became a recovery anchor through strict structure, daily routine, and rediscovering hands-on musicianship that made her feel like a fuller artist.
- She reflects on falling out of love—both with people and with passions—arguing it often takes mutual investment to reignite connection, and reframing “change” as ongoing “growth.”
- She identifies quitting Xanax as the biggest change she’s made, saying it saved her life, and she now works to replace self-doubt with an “I can” mentality and the grounding practice of “stand still.”
IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING
5 ideasHealing her inner child started with identifying emotions and committing to therapy.
She says she learned to connect her current emotional struggles back to childhood experiences by consistently showing up to therapy, even on “good days” when it’s tempting to avoid difficult feelings.
Self-love work for her began with body image and learning to love her younger self.
She describes developing body dysmorphia and self-image pain very young, and says it was heartbreaking to realize she couldn’t even love herself as a child; her shift has been toward wanting to protect that younger version of herself.
External praise didn’t override internal pain—bullying distorted her ability to trust reassurance.
She says severe bullying about her appearance made it hard to believe compliments and created trust issues, because she assumed people close to her were lying when they said positive things.
Structure and routine were central supports in her recovery and creative process.
She describes progress as “circular,” with ups and downs, and says she still battles self-isolation; she credits routine—therapy, dog walks, and a structured studio schedule—for keeping her from retreating into darkness.
She recognized a pattern of “worshiping” partners and intentionally redirected it toward herself and her craft.
She says she can become consumed by another person’s moods and attention, describing it as “worship,” and she redirected that energy into her album, music-making, and self-love instead.
WORDS WORTH SAVING
5 quotesOne major one was self-love and, and body image, um, love and, and body dysmorphia. I developed that at such a young age, and it's been really hard for me to reframe my mind to, to be able to even look at my younger self and love that version of me.
— Noah Cyrus
In your brain it's just you in there with that inner voice, and it, and it gets really dark, and it gets really lonely, especially, I mean, certainly in my experience.
— Noah Cyrus
When you say confident, I definitely don't feel that word- majority of the time, actually maybe ever. But I, I'm constantly learning- and constantly growing.
— Noah Cyrus
The most major change for me was, was stop taking Xanax. That completely, I, was ruining my life.
— Noah Cyrus
I do believe that transformation and change is possible, but it's not very probable. The probability is low, but the possibility is high.
