The nervous system learns through repetition, not perfection.Stress will happen. Triggers will happen. Old patterns may show up.
That doesn’t mean you’ve gone backwards.
What matters is the after:
- how you talk to yourself
- how quickly you regulate
- whether you stay engaged or disappear
Shame turns setbacks into collapses.Compassion turns them into learning.
Reflection:When something goes wrong, what’s your first move attack yourself or support yourself?
