When My Body Won’t Let Go: Meeting the Part of Me Stuck in Survival

Inside, I share the moment I realized the fear I was carrying didn’t belong to my adult self at all — it belonged to a 5-year-old part of me who truly believed she was holding our entire world together.

The part terrified I would disappear if she loosened her grip.

I show you exactly how I found her, how I understood her fear, and the small reading ritual that helped her finally soften.

If you’ve ever felt frozen in fight-or-flight, overwhelmed by life’s pressures, or confused why your body reacts so intensely… this is a doorway into your own inner world.
