What if the reactions you judge most harshly are not signs that something is wrong with you, but ways your body learned to protect you?
In this episode, I’m sharing how yoga, therapy, EMDR, boundaries, and curiosity helped me experience more space between a trigger and my response. This is my personal story, not a prescription for yours.
