The nervous system impact of learning to suppress YOU.
Sometimes we’re carrying responses that don’t belong to us. Sometimes the resistance isn’t even about what’s happening now—it’s echoing from something unspoken long ago.
You don’t have to analyse it.
You don’t have to fix it.
You can simply notice it—and choose something different.
Why Healing Isn’t About Becoming Someone New→ Explore the power of remembering vs. fixing
We’ve been sold the idea that transformation means becoming someone different — someone more polished, more productive, more perfect.
