Possible Buried Beliefs

  • “My body needs a shield.”
  • “If I am less attractive, I am safer.”
  • “If I lose weight, people may want me.”
  • “If people want me, they may harm me.”
  • “If I become visible, I am unsafe.”
  • “My weight keeps people away.”

Healing Notes

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