Possible Buried Beliefs

  • “I need this to feel okay.”
  • “I cannot sit with this urge.”
  • “Pleasure is the only relief I have.”
  • “I am already broken, so why stop?”
  • “The urge is stronger than me.”
  • “If I do not act, I will have to feel.”

Healing Notes

Shame loosens in the presence of being seen and not rejected. Naming it out loud is often the first crack of light.
