You want to exercise, eat well, rest, or set boundaries. You know these things are good for you. But when the moment comes, something inside resists. You feel stuck, confused or overwhelmed.

This Part is protecting you from an old, painful truth that may not even be true anymore. What would happen if you let it know that taking care of yourself is safe now?
