For most of my life, I did not know how to receive.
Compliments. Help. Good things that arrived without being worked for.
I would deflect the compliment. Refuse the help. Find a way to minimise the good thing so it did not feel too large to hold.
I thought I was being humble.
What I was actually doing was protecting myself from something I did not yet have a word for.
The vulnerability of being seen. Really seen. And receiving something — love, abundance, recognition — without immediately bracing for it to be taken away.
The inability to receive is not a personality trait. It is a wound.
And it keeps so much good from landing.
If you are a woman who deflects, minimises, and gives far more than she ever lets herself receive — I understand that world intimately.
And I know how to help you soften it.
Message me. This is gentle, safe work. 🌸
