If the shoe fits, it’s not a personality flaw it’s an unsafe nervous system and we can heal that 💛 #HealingJourney #nervoussystemhealing #somatichealing #fawnresponse #highlysensitivepeople

Nobody is mad at you. You're not in trouble. Nobody's coming to tell you off, and you haven't done anything wrong. If you do feel like this often, if you walk around thinking people are off with you, if you lie awake at night wondering if you've done something, I need you to know that this is your nervous system responding to something that it has been deeply conditioned to believe. That's somewhere along the way your little nervous system learned that if you did piss somebody off, if you did get it wrong, if you were imperfect, that you wouldn't be safe. You wouldn't be lovable, you wouldn't be accepted. As an adult, you're carrying the memory of that within you. A somatic imprint that tells you, if you're not perfect, if you don't prove something, if you're not useful to somebody, you're unsafe. That is not your personality. That is not what you've been put on this earth. And I need you to know that on the other side of this is utter freedom, but we have to work with your nervous system to get there.
