You’ve spent years being the version of yourself that survived. The one who kept the peace. The one who didn’t ask for too much. The one who got you through it. And now that life is different, you feel guilty for wanting more.
That’s not selfishness, that’s evolution. Healing means realizing that survival mode was supposed to be temporary.
The EMDR effect is what happens when your nervous system learns that safety doesn’t require self-abandonment. You stop apologizing for your growth. You stop mistaking comfort zones for loyalty. You start letting yourself become the person survival never allowed.
At Very Good Mind, we don’t ask you to stay small to prove you’re grateful. We help you grow without guilt.
Because who you were kept you alive. Who you are now gets to live.
