You know how to be yourself. But when others are involved, you feel that your authentic self-expression will cost you the connection & belonging.
That’s why you adjust yourself, become what others expect you to be and silence your truth.
Somewhere along the line when growing up you learned that being yourself is not welcomed and so you started prioritising others and what they want over your truth.
As a child, this worked for the moment and it gave you a form of acceptance and belonging that felt vital. But it came at a price: 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟.
Now as an adult, you can often sense the inner conflict between your real expression and the adjusted one.
You are the only one who can be you in this life, so who is better equiped to do that than you?
Knowing this intellectually is not enough though, as your body has registered authenticity with threat of connection.
Restoring the inner safety of being yourself and expressing your truth means that you stop abandoning yourself in order to have acceptance/connection/belonging.
If you’re ready to come back to yourself, this is the work we do together.
