Buried Feeling
Controlled, controlling, powerless, angry, overwhelmed, unsafe.
Buried Belief
- “I must control everything to be safe.”
- “If I am not in control, something bad will happen.”
- “I need power because I feel powerless.”
- “I cannot relax.”
- “My body must hold what I cannot feel.”
- “I am carrying too much.”
Hard-to-Go Place
Letting go of control and feeling the fear underneath it. Belly weight may point to what feels held, controlled, swallowed, suppressed, carried, or protected.
Next Step
Ask, "What am I trying to control because I do not feel safe?"
