A lot of people spend years calling themselves lazy, cold, needy, dramatic, or “too much.” But what if these aren’t character flaws? What if they’re protective strategies your nervous system learned long ago? You are not your coping mechanisms. You are not your worst moments. And you are not broken. Your behavior makes sense when you understand the story your body has been trying to survive. Comment “HEAL” if you’re learning to understand yourself with less shame and more compassion. ❤️ #therapy #relationsship #nervoussystem #psychologyinsights #counselling
