π You're Doing Something Brave π
Learning to set boundaries when it wasn't safe to have needs as a child takes incredible courage. Every small step you take is showing your inner child that their needs matter and that it's safe to take up space in the world.
Be patient with yourself. This is healing work, not a quick fix. You're worth the effort it takes to build a life where you feel safe, respected, and authentically yourself.
