Possible Buried Beliefs
  • “I was owed this.”
  • “No one gives me anything.”
  • “This is the only way I get mine.”
Healing Notes

Emotion Link offers these as possible associations to explore, not causes or diagnoses. Possible purpose or secondary gain: taking may restore a felt injustice and create excitement in place of emptiness.

It moves through honest grief for what was unfair, and a choice — eventually — to stop paying interest on the debt.

Hard to Go Places

The places the body has been avoiding — the feelings, truths, or moments it has been organised to keep at a distance.

  • Stealing

    Feeling the old deprivation without balancing the books.

  • Resentment

    Feeling the anger underneath without acting it out.
