At some point, keeping other people happy may have helped you feel safer, accepted or less at risk of conflict or rejection. 🌿
But over time, that same protective response can leave you saying yes when you mean no, putting your needs aside and experiencing the conflict within yourself instead.
Healing doesn’t mean judging the way you learnt to cope. It’s about understanding why it was needed and recognising when it’s no longer serving you. 🤍
What once kept you safe doesn’t have to run your life forever.
