If you feel pulled to have this conversation with me, maybe we can help each other in some way. If having this conversation with me feels heavy and overwhelming, it’s okay to say no, or not respond.
Because there is a part of me holding on so tightly to this moment, I wondered if there is a place for healing within you too.
—Healthy communication and repair comes when all parties involve have a regulated nervous system. Asking for permission with compassion towards the other tells their nervous system it’s safe. Until there is safety, repair is unavailable to the system.
