@healwithbritt: Being prepared and being unwilling to need anyone can look exactly the same from the outside. There's a version of self-sufficiency that gets praised everywhere, and underneath it can be something much quieter: a body that decided long ago it was safer to need less. It rarely feels like avoidance in the moment. It feels responsible, organized, like you're simply handling things the way you always have, and sometimes it takes another person asking an obvious question before the pattern comes into view at all. Here's what I want to name gently, because I think it matters. Understanding a pattern is not the same as no longer having it. I teach this work and I still catch myself living inside it, and I've come to think of that as the humility of this work rather than a failure of it. So if reaching out is hard for you, if you find yourself keeping support at a careful distance even when you clearly need it, you're not doing healing wrong. You're doing what your body learned. This is exactly the kind of work we do inside the Body-First Healing Program, where we gather each week for live somatic practice and community, and where letting yourself be supported is part of the practice itself.
