You're in a meeting. Your boss says one dismissive thing and suddenly you're six years old again, desperate to be seen. Your voice gets small. You apologize too much. You promise to fix it even when it's not your fault. That's not adult-you. That's a fragment — a part of you that learned love was conditional on being good. You're not crazy. Your nervous system is just time-traveling. #InnerChildWork #EmotionalHealing #NervousSystem #TraumaRecovery #UnfilteredWisdom
