Description

“You protected your heart because someone broke it. You shut the door not because you didn’t want love, but because you were left to guard yourself alone. But I tell you: not every hand wounds. Not every closeness breaks. Some closeness heals.”

There are those who long for connection but cannot let it in.
Those who keep their distance, even while hoping to be embraced.
It is not indifference, it is fear. Not coldness, but memory.
If your body tenses when someone comes near, if your mind whispers warnings when love begins to grow, it may be because somewhere along the way, safety was replaced with survival.
Schema Therapy refers to this as the Mistrust/Abuse schema—a profound imprint left by betrayal, violation, or neglect. It teaches you to expect harm where there should be care. To doubt, to defend, to pull away.
But I tell you this:
You are not wrong to protect yourself.
You are just tired of protecting yourself alone.
And now is the time to learn another way.

What you will carry home with you:

• A compassionate understanding of how the Mistrust schema operates in your nervous system, in your relationships, and in the story you tell yourself about others
• Tools to begin retraining your sense of safety, gently, slowly, without forcing what still feels too close
• A new internal experience of safety: one that begins within, not through control, but through connection
• A guided MIMT mirror practice to meet the part of you that still doesn’t trust—and to offer it protection, not from the world, but from isolation
• An embodied sense of emotional boundaries that protect without imprisoning
• The beginning of a new way of relating, not through suspicion or retreat, but through presence and choice
• And most of all, the sacred reminder that your heart was not made for defence, it was made for relationship
