Someone close to me made a comment that momentarily made me question myself.
It wasnโt the words themselves.
It was how quickly they touched an old self-doubt I thought I had already outgrown.
Thatโs the part we donโt talk about enough.
You can study this work.
Research it.
Build a community around regulation and identity shifts.
And still feel something hit deeper than expected.

Itโs what you do next.
Instead of reacting, defending, or shutting down, I paused.
I asked myself:
Why did that land?
What belief did it touch?
Is that belief still true?
