You have to give your body the safety to trust you are in congruence with it. Forcing yourself to be positive on the outside, when on the inside, you’re hurting, is just another way to bypass your own reality. To merge the gap, we have to work with our bodies, not against them ❤️‍🩹

Positive thinking layered over a dysregulated nervous system is just a different kind of override.

Your body does not respond to affirmations. It responds to repeated physical experience.

This is not discouraging. This is clarifying. It means the work has a specific address - and you can go there.
