Buried Feeling
Guarded, undeserving, rejected, unworthy, defensive, afraid of needing.
Buried Belief
- “I cannot receive love.”
- “Receiving makes me weak.”
- “If I need love, I can be hurt.”
- “I have to give, but I cannot receive.”
- “I am not worthy of being held.”
- “Love always comes with a cost.”
Hard-to-Go Place
Receiving love, affection, support, help, or tenderness without rejecting it. The hard-to-go place is allowing support in without feeling weak, indebted, unsafe, or undeserving.
Next Step
Notice where you resist receiving. Ask, "What do I feel when someone gives to me?"
