When Your Body Says No: Understanding Boundaries & The Nervous System

# When Your Body Says No: Understanding discomfort, self-abandonment, and the nervous system beneath weak boundaries

If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, constantly overriding your needs, or struggling to understand why boundaries feel so hard — this space is for you 🤍
Not to become cold.
Not to learn how to push people away.
But to finally understand what your body has been trying to tell you.
