When Something Inside You Reacts Before You Do
Sometimes a reaction happens before we’ve had time to choose.
A tightness.
A story.
A judgment.
A familiar emotional surge.
Most of us assume:
“That’s just me.”
But what if it isn’t?
What if it’s something that formed quietly a long time ago?
Not to harm you.
But to supposedly protect you.
This work begins by noticing that distinction.
Not fixing.
Not changing.
Just seeing.
That alone can be surprisingly relieving.
