We weren't just taught to be nice, we were taught over and over again, not to have boundaries, to do what we were told, to keep peace, to comply.
This lands in everyone differently.
In me, it landed as: be small, do what you're told, your truth doesn't matter.
And that taught me not to use my intuition.
Not to listen to myself.
To betray myself quietly, over and over again.
The grief from that isn't always loud or obvious.
It's pre-verbal. Something you can't fully name.
It feels like a heavy fog you've been surviving inside of, not sadness exactly just weight.
Grief for who you had to be to survive.
Grief for the self you never got to explore.
Grief for betraying your intuition for safety. 🙋‍♀️
Grief for chronic stress.
Grief for relationships that depended on your self-abandonment.
Grief for emotionally unavailable parents.
Grief for being unseen while still being "loved".
Grief for rest that never felt "safe".
Grief isn't always about losing someone it's about losing yourself little by little.
And no, It's not always perimenopause or a midlife crisis.
It's your body waking up and saying: "This is not how I want to survive anymore, I want to live!"
When we don't have the tools for that awakening, it shows up as overwhelm...or complete underwhelm.
Neither means you're broken.
It means something TRUE is trying to surface, just to be witnessed.
Here's how I help, I help people name the grief they were never allowed to feel, the kind that lives in the body. The unconscious part running your patterns, running your compliance and unseen parts of you. I offer a way of living that no longer requires betraying yourself. A way you didn't even know existed. I offer you your freedom you didn't even know you had.
