You know where it started. It still shows up anyway: the guilt when you say no, the need to keep everyone happy, the inner critic that sounds a lot like a parent, the way you brace for rejection in relationships that are actually safe.
Understanding your childhood is one step. Changing how it still runs your reactions is another. This library covers both, in one place: where the patterns came from, what they did to your body and your sense of self, and the practical work of healing them.
