Description

We've been taught that being selfless is the highest form of love, but all it really did was make us invisible. As Béa Victoria Albina puts it, so many of us learned to earn safety, belonging, and worth by taking care of everyone else first. That's emotional outsourcing: when your nervous system confuses approval with survival. You can't rest if someone's upset, can't sit still when there's laundry to fold, can't stop apologizing just to keep the peace. Sound familiar?

The truth is, reclaiming yourself isn't selfish ... it's revolutionary.
