If I ask for what I need then… I am afraid my ask is too big, out of reach, too hard, too needy. I am afraid I’ll be told I’m too emotional and need to manage/surpress those emotions. And if I’m too much, no one will want to be with me or like me or want me around.
If I stand in my power and make myself big… what if I’m wrong? What if I screw up? What if I don’t get it right and make a big mess? What if I cannot clean up that mess? What are other people going to say? If I stand big will I be accepted, loved, seen, heard? Is my power alone enough?!
OUUUUUU such great reflections, love! Next steps would be to go into the inner child/somatic practice...
Where do those fears live in your body? What do they look and feel like? Is there a color, shape, density? Is it heavy or light? Sharp or smooth? What do you notice?
Another good one…
