Possible Buried Feelings

Possible Buried Beliefs

  • “I must punish myself back into control.”
  • “If I restrict hard enough, I can fix myself.”
  • “If I fail once, I failed completely.”
  • “I am either perfect or out of control.”
  • “I cannot trust balance.”
  • “I must start over again.”

Healing Notes

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