🛡️ When “Honesty” Becomes a Weapon — And How to Protect Your Nervous System
Have you ever been on the receiving end of, “I’m just being honest”, and felt your stomach drop?
What they call honesty is often just unregulated nervous system energy, a discharge of shame, fear, or control disguised as “truth-telling.”
Identity Check-In: Your identity isn’t built by absorbing other people’s projections. Every time you allow someone’s careless words to penetrate unchecked, your nervous system takes the hit, and you shrink to fit their story.
Reframe the Moment:
- Pause. Breathe into your belly. Remind yourself: This is their dysregulation, not my truth.
- Respond with clarity:
- Anchor back into your chosen identity: “I am grounded. I don’t absorb noise.”
Identity Practice for Today:
Write down three identity statements to protect your state:
- I am not what others say I am.
- I choose responses, not reactions.
- I protect my nervous system first, always
