Which of these are you guilty of? 🧐
✨ If you struggle with high functioning anxiety, hyper-independence, and/or a flat mood, it’s likely you often minimize your experience.
✨ I see this all the time in my practice. It has become second nature to you to minimize or dismiss your personal experience, your personal truth.
✨ At some point, you likely learned that meeting others’ needs, others’ expectations, was the safest (and most successful) way to walk through the world, and you built a protective shield around your own experience.
✨ The only problem is, that shield can numb you out. It can wind you up. It can burn you out.
✨ This is a reminder that your experience matters. It is not silly, it is not “not bad enough”, and it is not ungrateful to hold both the good and the bad at once.
