Try the exercise and then tell me:
What did you notice in your body?
———
When we’ve been hurt in love, of course some part of us wants to make sure it never fu***ng happens again. The problem is that sometimes the protection we built around one experience quietly follows us into the next one.
And healing doesn’t have to mean forgiving someone who hasn’t earned your forgiveness, pretending what happened was okay, or forcing yourself to “let go” because enough time has passed. Sometimes it’s simply giving your body a chance to feel what it’s been holding and see if it’s ready to release even a little bit of it.
That’s what I want you to use this practice for. Bring the heartbreak, the betrayal, the resentment, the things you never got to say, the conversations you still have in your head, even the part of you that still wants them to understand exactly what they fu***ng did.
You don’t have to make any of it go away. Just let yourself be with what’s there and notice whether your body is ready to put down even 1% of what it’s been carrying.
Not for them. For you.
Because you don’t need to keep carrying what someone did to you in order to prove that it mattered. You can remember what happened without continuing to live braced for it to happen again.
You get to keep the wisdom, the standards, the deeper trust in yourself and everything the experience taught you without keeping the pain wrapped around your heart forever.
Save this practice for a quiet moment when you’re ready. ❤️
