Ever feel guilty for saying no… for choosing yourself… for setting a boundary?

Ever feel guilty for saying no… for choosing yourself… for setting a boundary?

It’s probably not guilt.

It’s shame.

For many of us, that shame was planted in childhood.

We were taught — directly or indirectly — that our worth only existed when we were doing something for someone else.

So now, as adults, when we try to take care of ourselves…

we feel like we’re doing something wrong.

We feel like we’re being selfish.

But really — we’re just bumping into the shame someone else handed us.

Especially when it’s a parent.

Because it’s painful to realize that the people who were supposed to protect us…

were the ones who made us believe we had no value unless we earned it.
