Guys when does the feeling of suffocation stop? Since mom passed I’ve been struggling to breathe. Some days it’s actually painful especially in the morning.
To heal your inner child, your adult self has to be brave, and do all the things that you couldn't do as a child. Set boundaries, speak up, let go, protect yourself. You heal so much when you do the things your inner child was too scared or wasn't safe enough to do.
i saw a quote that said “everyone loves you when you let everything slide, but the moment you start setting boundaries and holding people accountable, you become the one that’s difficult” and that’s real shit.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to understand the psychology or behaviour behind why someone hurt you. In fact, that’s often a huge part of healing.
