Something I talk about a lot with clients and something I think more people need to hear.
The way you shut down. The way you can never say no. The way you need to control everything around you. These things didn’t just appear. They developed because at some point in your life, they kept you safe.
That’s not your personality. That’s your nervous system doing its job.
And the most important thing I want you to take from this post is that what was learned can be unlearned. You are not stuck with these patterns forever. Healing is possible and it starts with understanding where these responses actually came from.
