“I feel trapped and can’t breathe.”
“I want to be left alone. It’s safer not to care.”
“It feels like there’s a clamp around my heart.”
“I’m so stupid. I should have known better.”
“I’m a fraud. If anyone ever finds out – it’s over.”
“I’m different and don’t fit in – anywhere.”
“My heart and mind aren’t on the same page.”
“My emotions are raw.”
“I can’t trust anyone.”
Can you see the common theme? Impact. Just like a
person dazed from an unexpected accident, robbery,
military ambush, or other threatening experience, our
body and mind become overwhelmed. Look at how many
words have to do with a visceral reaction in our bodies.
