This video was born from a deep place of loosening the grip of self-neglect and learning how to tend our own hearts with the same tenderness we offer others. Seeing it ripple into lives, conversations, and healing journeys has been profound. 🙏
12,000 views is more than a number — it’s a community of people brave enough to look inward, heal, and grow.

The Safety Wound
When the body learned to stay alert.
Safety wounds form when the nervous system had to stay on guard —
listening, scanning, bracing — even in moments of quiet.
Rest didn’t feel neutral.
Stillness didn’t feel safe.
Relaxation felt like something bad might happen next.
Healing this wound isn’t about forcing calm.
It’s about teaching the body that it no longer has to earn safety.
Safety becomes internal.
Breath by breath.
Moment by moment.

🌑 The Self-Abandonment Wound
This wound forms when staying connected once meant leaving yourself behind.
When being agreeable felt safer than being honest.
When your needs felt like too much.
When your body learned to go quiet to keep the peace.
Self-abandonment isn’t a failure.
It’s a survival strategy.
It can show up as: • saying yes when your body says no
• minimizing your feelings
• losing touch with what you want
• staying longer than feels right
Healing this wound isn’t about becoming selfish.
It’s about becoming self-loyal.
✨ You don’t have to disappear to belong.
✨ Your needs are not a burden.
✨ Staying with yourself is an act of healing.

The Over-Giving (People-Pleasing) Wound

This wound forms when love, safety, or belonging once felt conditional.
You may have learned early that being helpful, agreeable, or emotionally available kept the peace — or kept you connected. Over time, giving became a way to feel worthy.
Over-giving isn’t generosity.
It’s a survival response.
You might notice this wound as: • saying yes when your body says no
• feeling responsible for others’ emotions
• guilt when you rest or receive
• exhaustion paired with resentment
• losing touch with what you actually need
The body often holds this wound as tension in the chest, throat, or gut — a constant readiness to accommodate.
Healing doesn’t mean becoming cold or withholding.
It means learning that your needs matter without earning them.
✨ You don’t have to give yourself away to be loved.
✨ Your presence is enough — even when you do nothing for anyone else.

🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️ Over-Giving / People-Pleasing — Mini Yoga Sequence

Intention: I am allowed to receive.
• Seated grounding — hands on thighs or heart, slow breath
• Cat–Cow — gentle, breath-led movement
• Child’s Pose — arms forward or wrapped back (your choice)
• Low lunge — upright, hands on heart or thighs
• Mountain Pose — steady, non-performative
• Supported forward fold — knees soft, release effort
• Rest — hand on heart, hand on belly
Move slowly. Pause often. Rest when needed.

🌑 The False Narrative Wound

This wound forms when you are defined by a story you didn’t get to tell.
It happens when: • others speak about you instead of to you
• your past is used to judge your present
• your growth is unseen
The body learns to brace — to go quiet, freeze, or over-explain.
Healing isn’t about correcting the story.
It’s about trusting who you are now.
Your presence speaks louder than old narratives.
✨ You don’t need permission to be who you’ve become.

🧘‍♀️ Mini Yoga Sequence
Intention: I stand rooted in who I am now.

• Seated grounding — feel support beneath you
• Cat–Cow — slow, breath-led movement
• Low lunge — upright, hands on heart or thighs
• Mountain pose — non-performative, steady
• Supported fold — release old stories
• Rest — hand on heart, hand on belly
Move gently. Rest often.

Thank you for the love on the Control Wound sequence. 🤍
Every view, save, and message reminds me that this work is landing exactly where it’s meant to.
We heal in awareness — not force.
I’m grateful you’re here. 🧘‍♀️✨ 💛

Sometimes control isn’t about power.
It’s about safety.
When things once felt unpredictable, the body learned to grip tighter —
to manage, plan, hold it all together.

This yoga sequence explores the Control Wound:

Where tension lives, why letting go feels risky,
and how the body can learn softness again — without forcing surrender.
This isn’t about losing control.
It’s about discovering you don’t have to hold everything so tightly anymore.
Join me on the mat.
We’re making space to breathe.

🌿 Healing, But Make It Human
Healing isn’t always incense and insight.
Sometimes it’s realizing your “personality” was a coping mechanism…
and laughing gently instead of spiraling about it.
This work is deep — and it’s human.
We stretch, we soften, we grow…
and sometimes we catch ourselves mid-pattern and just go,
“Ah. That makes sense.”
Laughter doesn’t mean avoidance.
It means the nervous system finally feels safe enough to loosen its grip.
You can heal and be light.
You can do shadow work and smile.
You’re allowed to integrate joy along the way.
This is Soul Alchemy too. ✨
🌱 Optional closing line (choose one if you want):
Healing isn’t linear. It’s more like… learning to be kind to yourself repeatedly.
Growth includes humor.
Yes, we do deep work here — snacks and laughter welcome.
