Possible Buried Beliefs
- “This object or body part feels safer than the whole person.”
- “I can desire without full intimacy.”
- “This symbol holds power, comfort, or safety.”
- “Whole-person intimacy feels too exposing.”
- “Touch or texture gives me what people did not.”
- “I can control the symbol better than the relationship.”
Healing Notes
Shame loosens in the presence of being seen and not rejected. Naming it out loud is often the first crack of light.
