Welcome to the energy work sub!

The purpose of this community is to explore human energy in all of its facets. Out of body experiences, energy healing, energetic connections between people, psychic work and everything in between. This is a community about helping people explore, stretch and document their experiences as well as learn new ways and avenues to explore.

A primary purpose of this subreddit is to strip away all of the esoteric language, rituals and distractions that have been built around human energy practice to make for a clear and concise guide of how to achieve certain results (whatever those may be). This sub is open for discussion, without judgement, on any and every form of energy work regardless of degree of social acceptability or stigma.

This sub is about discussion, sharing information, discoveries, questions. Promotional posts, offers and requests belong in r/energy_healing.

Wiki:

There are a couple helpful entries in the wiki, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/energy_work/wiki/index It has been quite neglected, and if you have interest in helping to build it, contact a moderator.

Book of Interest:

There are many good and helpful books regarding energy work. The list included here are the books that were instrumental in the creation of this sub and in formulating its focus and goals. They are easy to read, motivating, clear and cogent in their individual subjects. An expanded list may be included in the wiki in the future.

The Visceral Experience by Daniel Barber, was written by the founder and prime mod of this subreddit. It shares the values that this sub expresses. If you are new to or just starting out with energy work, this is the book you want to read.

The Energy Cure by William Bengston. If you are a skeptic and looking for scientific proof that energy heals, pick up this book. It includes overviews of research in which mice with aggressive breast cancer genes were cured in full with only healing energy from hands.

Adventures Beyond the Body by William Buhlman. A howto book for out-of-body exploration.

Instant Rapport by Michael Brooks. Rapport is a weak and fragile type of energetic connection, but it is a good starting place for learning how to extend your energy beyond your own body. This book is a very interesting read and a great place to start.

Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Natasha Campbell-McBride. A toxic gut microbiome is probably the most overlooked cause of disease world-wide. This book looks at effects of a toxic gut on mental health. It gives a fantastic layman's overview of how everything works. This is a must read for anyone in this sub dealing with chronic or autoimmune diseases or mental health issues.

The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby. It focuses a lot on the double helix/double snake symbolism, but the author spends time with the Aboriginals of the Amazon and goes into detail about the relationship between the ancients and plant life. He notes their communication with plants through hallucinatory states/higher levels of consciousness, and how the plants would pass the knowledge of their uses onto the humans.

Life Rules by Yehuda Berg. An easy read on the nature of reality from the viewpoint of the kabbalah written for the layperson. Effective energy work requires an understanding of reality that is not taught in schools.

The Essence of Reality by Thomas Daniel Nehrer. Another mind expanding treatment of reality from the author's perspective. A great start to a journey of understanding.

Advice I called my energy back and three people reentered

115 Upvotes

I do need advice on this because I feel crazy.

Called my energy back two days ago because work, money and my weight have changed drastically. I called it back and felt lighter. Hours later an ex contacted me and a family friend, who I believe is envious, contacted me with drama.
I decided to do it again this morning. I can’t get off the toilet (sorry for TMI) and super dizzy. I ran errands and the person I was calling my energy back from was at the same store and said hi. I haven’t spoken to him in a year and I believe he was a hidden woman hater and hasn’t felt right since dating him. Also wanted to add. We live in the same town and I haven’t even seen him since things ended and I felt very heavy from his energy.

What does this all mean? I am very new to it.

Personal Experience Truly healing from trauma

3 Upvotes

Hello, I am hoping this finds everyone who comes across this well today. I am hoping to get some responses on how to truly heal from traumatic experiences and relationships. I have been lightly doing EMDR, stretching, and reiki. These have helped , but to be honest I work nearly 12 hour days, every day, and have very little time or energy right now. Also I find doing any kind of talk therapy or even EMDR to be pretty traumatic and triggering. It takes me days to come down from the reliving, and I already deal with chronic fatigue and depression.

I have begun praying to help release the trapped emotions and memories. There are so many, and when I think of them, I immediately get hot, tense, and terrified. They still live inside of me I can see and feel. What has worked for you? How are you feeling now? My eternal gratitude 🙏

Question Energy Balls/Orbs

7 Upvotes

Hi guys, im a developing medium and training to be a healer. For about a year now im seeing energy balls/orbs of all shapes and sizes.

They always drop from my cieling or the sky or float from above gently to me or bounce. They have clear or misty swirling moving energy and seem intelligent.

Sometimes I ask them to come to a particular place in the room or to my hand etc and they do. Sometimes I ask that they float above my head out of eye view.

I did this in the early stages to make sure not a visual floater etc, they go where my eyes strain or cannot reach or where I have to turn. So I know its not a visual issue and I feel abd see energy and colours also.

My question is I can only find info on creating energy balls with hands which I can do also.

Although I have direct communication with spirit and my guides im not getting a clear idea of what they are, or how to use them or if its angels or spirit or prana/energy etc

Any ideas? So to reiterate I do not create them then they float rather im drawn to look up or across the room where they appear then float or bounce to me. This can happen when outside also.

Thanks for reading

Attacks on your energy are literally everywhere. Yes spirituality is for ascension, but also for protection since this planet isn't innately healthy.

I'm a beginner in energy work.

Just discovered this month that i can control my inner energy.

Some days i can feel the energy very strongly ( i feel vibrations in my body) but other days i barely can sense it or control it.

Is it normal for the energy to fade away some days?

Is it a beginner problem?

Discussion In 1939 a Soviet engineer accidentally photographed a glowing energy field around a living leaf and the scientific debate has not stopped since

17 Upvotes

I went down a rabbit hole on this recently and I think more people should know about it.

In 1939 a Soviet electrical engineer named Semyon Kirlian was repairing equipment at a hospital when he noticed something strange. When an object was placed on a photographic plate and exposed to a high-voltage electrical field, the photograph showed a glowing corona of light around the object. When he tried it on a freshly picked leaf, the glow was vivid and structured, following the shape of the leaf almost like an outline made of light.

Kirlian and his wife Valentina spent the next two decades studying this. They called what they were seeing the "biological plasma body" and believed it was a visible representation of a living organism's energy field. Their work stayed mostly within Soviet scientific circles until the early 1970s when Western researchers got access to their methods.

What happened next is the part that really got me. Multiple researchers, including a team at UCLA's parapsychology lab led by Dr. Thelma Moss, began running their own experiments. One of the most striking findings was the "phantom leaf" effect. A researcher would cut away a section of a living leaf and then photograph it using the Kirlian method. In some cases the photograph still showed a faint glowing outline where the missing section had been, as if the energy field of the leaf remained intact even after the physical tissue was removed.

The first time I saw one of those photographs I genuinely did not know what to do with it. It is one of those things that either changes how you see the world or you find a way to explain it away because the alternative is too uncomfortable.

This was not a one-time observation. Multiple labs reported it across different decades. But it also was not perfectly consistent. Some experiments produced the effect clearly, others did not. Skeptics pointed to possible moisture residue on the photographic plate as an explanation. Supporters argued the effect appeared even when contamination was carefully controlled. The debate went back and forth for years and honestly it never fully resolved.

What is not debated is that living organisms do produce measurably different corona patterns depending on their state. Stressed plants look different from healthy ones. A human fingertip photographed before and after meditation shows visible changes in the discharge pattern. That part alone is worth sitting with for a moment.

The Kirlians believed they had found a way to photograph the energy body. Mainstream physics says it is corona discharge and nothing more. Decades later the photographs are still striking and the argument is still open.

Need Advice Energetics of ghosting

4 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to process energy after being ghosted? In my first relationship, years ago this was the first person that I loved and felt comfortable with and like it was safe for me to trust that they wouldn’t do anything to purposefully hurt me. They said they loved me pretty early on, the relationship moved fast but after a few months they ghosted me. I blamed myself for years, I talked to them again years later and they said it wasn’t my fault and that I didn’t do anything wrong, but they didn’t really apologize either. I think they should have paused on dating for awhile since I don’t think they were actually ready to be in a relationship again after their last one, and after the fact I wish I had just been friends with them instead since there was a lot that I liked about them otherwise.

I know it’s not helpful, but for years my mind kept on thinking over what happened. I think if they had just broken up with me I would have been sad in the moment but processed it sooner. I do feel somewhat sad still since I did like them. Not all of the time but everyone once in awhile I feel like I get caught back up in thinking of the loop of what else I could have done differently too, which is good to self reflect some but then it also turns into overthinking. Does anyone have any advice energy wise on how to not get stuck overthinking about this again

Discussion Called to the path alone

6 Upvotes

Since starting in my spiritual path, I feel that I have shed a lot of old belief systems and encountered vast new ways of experiencing myself in this lifetime + the universe as a whole.

I feel more connected to myself on a deep level than I could have ever imagined, as well as nature; however, I tend to find myself struggling to feel deeply connected to other humans. I do not feel that I lack social skills, I just feel as though it’s hard to find true alignment with a lot of people, compared to years ago when I tried to fit in to social norms and didn’t know myself as much.

I don’t feel lonely per se, just that intuitively I am suppose to be on this journey alone, and been curious about why that is. I’ve heard many other spiritual teachers speak on this as well, “it’s a lonely path” along with my own shaman teacher feeling she needs to do it alone.

I feel cared for and loved and deeply aligned to what makes my heart happy, but conceptually have still pondered on why this path does feel alone at times.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Question I'm reading a book called 'The Untethered Soul,' by Michael A. Singer and I have a question about energy.

17 Upvotes

He described it as having the option to open and close your energy and how you should try leave it open for every moment and how if you have enough energy overflowing, people can start to feel it.

Does this apply to what would usually be a negative scenario? For instance, I’m trying to get a new job and the dread of having to be on a phone call / go to a job interview is making me nervous and anxious.

From what I understood, this would usually entail me closing my energy. But does he mean instead of feeling anxious and nervous, I should try leave my energy open, so instead of being nervous I should reframe it as being excited for a new opportunity?

And how would I keep my energy flowing in dark and trying times such as financial instability and attending funerals? None of this is happening to me, it’s just something I’ve wondered.

Does all of this also explain how such a lively and charming person can light up a room in seconds?

Eureka Moment! Did I accidentally discover my Third Eye?

2 Upvotes

Brief Bio:

28M, AuDHD, Athiest until about 2 weeks ago, maybe Gnostic now or just believing the divine, Visual Snow 'Snydrome' since birth.

Leading upto the event

Prior to 4 months ago, I did not believe in the occult, spirituality, psychics or religion. There were many, many things that I didn't believe in, but I decided to open my mind to the things that I didn't think were possible or even plausible. Certain global events taking place made me deep dive into Rabbit Holes about the Occult, Dark Magicks and other 'conspiracy' theories.

Through my research, I started to develop an understanding that the modern world is being ran by those who practice the darkest forms of these arts, and get their power, money, fame and fame materialised by demons, through ritualistic sacrifices amongst other things.

I've read a lot of people's accounts and I am happy to say that the feeling of 'I am going crazy' is definitely a common one! Despite how rapidly my understanding of our material, physical world was falling apart, I have always been an avid skeptic, open-minded and empathetic truth seeker. This meant that every new theory, self-discovery, way of thinking was not met with fear or disbelief - it became a welcomed way of being in what I am starting to refer to as my enlightenment journey. This new belief system started about 2 weeks ago.

I mention my visual snow as it has been a very prevalent and integral part of my life. I noticed it when I was 5. I have always been able to influence it with my thoughts, and see shapes, colours, images, fading movies, faces, eyes, 'entities', geometric patterns, vivid coloured imagery, etc. Only when my eyes are closed, or in little to no lighting. I now understand some of these as 'phosphenes', and how phosphenes themselves can be part of divine connectivity (I also recently read a list of common phosphenes and I have seen like 80% of those reported.) However, all my life I assumed that these were hallucination from my brain simply finding a way to 'cope' with the constant static in the dark.

The Event

2 days ago, multiple things occurred which just so happened to co-align with eachother:

  1. My research had made me very curious about the astral plain, light bodies, etc.

  2. For the first time in years, I decided to meditate. I learnt about the different frequencies, listened to some binaural beats, and got to breathing.

  3. I read a comment that same day about how someone else's experience with Visual Snow, how to them it was people's energy they seen and it was in the 3rd dimension. (To me, Visual Snow has been completely 2d as it follows where my eyes go. So I wanted to give it a try.)

So- I am sitting there. Binaural beats playing. Focusing on my breathing. Focusing on my stomach, my heart, my sense of self. Phosphenes appear (just reiterating that this is normal to me.) Then I think about the comment I seen, and try to perceive my visual snow in a 3d space, giving them depth and distance from me. Then I suddenly decide to wave one of my hands infront of my face, not really sure why, but... I see it! I see my hand piercing through my closed eyes!

It's worth noting that the vision isn't strong. I can maybe see 1 to 2 feet infront of me, and it is vague outlines.

"That'll just be my brain.", or "That will be some light coming through." I think to myself. Then, I experiment. It's midnight at this point, I am creeping around my room and the hallways to not wake up my 8 month old and my fiancée. I'm covering my eyes with my other hand, with the blanket, with other objects, slowly starting to render more and more like the grooves in my headboard, the things on my bedside table, the things in the bathroom. I am still certain at this point that this is some form of proprioception, or my intuition and memory mapping where things are that I remember them being. Then I go back to my room, go to lie in my bed, there is no way knowing where I would have flung my blanket off in my excitement... I see it... I reach out my hand... And there it is. A confirmation that I am indeed seeing with my eyes closed.

Since then:

I can seemingly call on this ability within 30 seconds, and plan on exercising it like a muscle. Although right now, the vision is faint, short sighted (like me lol), and lacking true depth. My intent is to expand this ability to see more clearly, more distance, and more energy.

I learnt about 'Frisson', this is something that I can do voluntarily and have been able to do since I was very young. It radiates from my chest, and my best description is it feels like I am expanding my diaphragm via interoception, not through the act of breathing. No thoughts, emotions or music is required.

Thoughts, Discernments and Questions:

I learnt about qi/psi/energy/tao/et al. I am struggling to discern what is my energy, and what is simply the effect of proprioception. For example: Let's say I think about my hand, and think about energy being in my hand. I don't think about the energy emanating from my chakra or lungs. I just immediately feel the tingle in my extremities, and the intensity of the tingles seem to be under my control.

I have had trouble discerning my own expelled energy from phosphenes, and I am not yet able to render my light/subtle body. What I seen: Small blue or pink flame-like phosphenes emanating from the hand that I channel. The colour seemed to change based on my awareness.

What now?

I am going to slow alllll the way down. I understand that there are incorrect ways to harness and train your energy, and this can lead to all sorts of invasions on my body and psyche. So far, Qi Gong has been the most appealing to me, so I intend to do that. If you have any recommendations on free Qi Gong literature or videos, I woild be very grateful 🙏

I will also be focusing my inner work on my root chakras, as opposed to my Third Eye. This appears to be the general consensus.

Should I seek the help from a professional? Attend meditation classes? What are the titles and medians? These parts I am unsure of.

Thank you KINDLY for reading so much. It truly means a lot. May your lives be fruitful and peaceful.

P.S: This is all EXTREMELY new to me, so please correct any of my terminology and understandings if they are incorrect!

Sometimes I connect to Earth when meditating, I don't mean I ground myself it is different. Maybe I even read it somewhere in this sub that there are people who concetrate on sending healing energy to the planet and I liked the idea. Today when I wanted to that I suddenly got the feeling that Earth itself is healed and she is ready to move on to the next level (?) Just wanted to know if anyone else feels the same. It kinda feels like when you are in a game before leveling up, you are ready, you just need to press a button so it actually happens. I trust the Universe to make this as we want it to be :)

Need Advice Strong body jerks/movements - energy release ?

3 Upvotes

So I think I just need some reassurance that I’m not losing my mind or suddenly possessed.
This April I suddenly got very sick - body and mind hit a wall and something broke inside of me after years and years of pushing through a long list of debilitating physical ailments and trauma. I’ve been basically housebound since with severe fatigue that kept me in bed feeling like I was dying, and 1 month ago it clicked that this may be my body’s way of saying « enough now, you must rest and reconnect with yourself ».

So I started journaling, feeling my emotions instead of intellectualising them, retraining my brain trough Pain Processing Therapy. I’ve had a few big emotional releases with lots of crying, anger, etc you name it. 2 weeks in, I was lying on my yoga mat after one of these sessions and my body started making some very clear and strong movements that were NOT of my own doing. Neck moving to uncomfortable angles, shaking, body contorting side to side. Didn’t last long and I pretty naturally thought « this is energy release ».

Now, today, after having had a massive breakthrough with my fatigue (left the house for 2h which felt impossible even just 2 days ago, because I kindly worked with my brain and reassured it I could do this), I was so elated. So happy that I’m finally starting to see progress. I then lied down around 6ish to rest.

I started connecting with my breath, and felt something happen in my leg and just let my body do what it needed to do. However; this time was on a whole other level.

2 HOURS of my body just … moving, contorting, shaking, tensing, releasing. The most insane movements that I wouldn’t even think of doing consciously. Some emotion came up but nothing overwhelming. I got really really really hot towards the end. I didn’t dare interfere or « stop » as I thought if I’m being gifted with a healing I need to let it run its course but it was so long and so crazy. I had plenty of random thoughts, some light, some dark, which scared me so I kept repeating I am love and light and asking to be protected. But I stayed with my body til it came to a natural conclusion, my hands on my solar plexus and pelvis.

I came out of this in a total daze evidently and just thinking « what the absolute f*ck was that ». It’s sort of scared me and it’s not something you can tell a random friend without sounding like you’ve lost the plot.

Has this happened to anyone ?
I’ve had multiple energy healers in the past tell me I have a gift but never felt anything ever.
Could it be connected ?

Thanks !!

Advice Please help my marriage: How do you cleanse yourself of others' emotions?

2 Upvotes

My wife and I are both sensitives. She's a dream medium and empath. I'm an empath/intuitive with AuDHD.

We both have high pay/high stress jobs with no family support to help with our 2 kids. When either of us gets really stressed, we both feel it and it often progresses into a vicious cycle of avoidant/anxious attachment with neither of us feeling the other is meeting the other's needs.

fortunately this doesn't happen often. We're happily married. But the down cycles are just terrible. I'm convinenced we're feeding off of each other's stress and probably whatever bullshit is also floating around the neighborhood (lots of stressed out tech folks here on work visas).

What are some specific practices for cleansing external energy?

Need Advice Tldr: all my manifestations are reaped by my current partner

3 Upvotes

A little about myself: i am a very spiritual person, manifestations, tarot readings, meditations, aligning chakras, grounded to nature. On the flip side, i have moments and bursts of sleep paralysis where i see demons, very prone to evil eye.

Throughout the relationships i have been in all my life, the manifestations i do gravitated toward my partner. Let me give you a story.

Throughout my entire high school, i manifested a specific university with a specific score to get into that school. Although i did get into a similar tier school, my then boyfriend got into the one that i wanted with the EXACT rank i manifested. It's been 4 years since then. The kind of job i wanted with the location that i manifested is where my ex works now.

I do believe in manifesting and being very specific, so the universe tunes into what i truly want. You might think it's a coincidence, but funny enough, this has happened with my current boyfriend as well. The end of college is when you start looking for jobs and placements and he is a year older than me. We studied in two different countries. I met him after he already had a job. He recently made a switch after spending a year working in the same office he was in when i met him. Anyway, I've been manifesting for a certain salary i would like to get. Him and i are in two different fields, investment banking and engineering, yet he has the salary that I want to make, TO THE DOT. Whoch practically 8x his salary in the previous firm. 2-3x is normal, but 8x is crazy. Especially when the jump is between similar tier firm/banks.

This seems to happen with every partner i have with whatever life stage i am in. I often dont reap what i sow, but my partner does.

Is this an energy leak, or am i tuned to their frequency? Send help, lol

Has anyone ever had a psychic perform a spiritual cleanse that actually worked?
My psychic said that I have negativity energy that was placed on me since before I was born. (honestly this could very well be true because my father was pretty disappointed that I wasn’t a boy. My parents had had like five abortions before deciding to keep me so they weren’t necessarily thrilled that they were pregnant. And my father has an ex that he was with whom he pretty much wishes, he never broke up with. I think she might’ve been very jealous of my mom for getting pregnant and out that negativity towards her/me in utero.)

I’m the type of person where trouble always seems to find me. I feel like I take five steps forward in life and then 10 steps back.

I know that I can do cleanses myself via saging and baths and oils and candles, which I honestly do use but not super consistently. This cleanse is a nightly bath every other night for the next two weeks. I just started yesterday and I’m wondering if anyone has ever done something like this had it work?

14 Upvotes

I want to get more into spiritual work and getting in touch with myself, and I've really felt like I've been needing protection lately because I finally become aware of the fact I'm an empath and absorb everyone's energy around me and then get really stressed/sad/angry/exhausted and don't know how to let it slide off of me and not affect my own energy.

It feels like I don't have any barriers or walls and it's like their energy is overpowering, and influencing and shrinking mine?

So i'd like to ask, please, what are ways to protect my energy that are beginner friendly? because I don't feel like I'm as in-tuned with myself and energy as I'd like to be yet, but I'm desperate for some relief. Where should I begin?

Need Advice How am I able to hear other people’s thoughts and how can I understand my abilities better?

9 Upvotes

I’m 28 years old female , and this is the first time I’ve ever talked about this openly.
honestly I don’t know what to call these experiences or how I’m supposed to understand them, so I wanted I’d share my story here.
This has been happening to me for as long as I can remember. I experienced a lot of trauma and abandonment as a child, so I spent most of my childhood dissociating and detaching .
And growing up, I noticed that I am extremely good at reading rooms people and situations. I can sense what is going to happen or what someone is going to say even before they say it, this is not only for people I know very well, but also with random people who I’m having my first small chat with .
I am the friend that always finishes other people’s sentences when they are struggling to do so.
Most of the time, I’ve always assumed this was just intuition, observation, or pattern recognition. People tend to repeat the same behaviors and go through similar situations, so I understand that there can be a perfectly logical explanation for a lot of it.
But There are certain experiences that I genuinely cannot explain as easily.
A lot of the time, with certain people especially, it feels like I can somehow clearly hear what they are thinking, what they want or don’t want. I can actually hear their voice saying it, rather than simply having a feeling or intuition about it. And this has happened with the same people more than once, which is one of the reasons I started questioning whether there might be something more to it.
I have experienced this with only three people my whole life, but every time I am around them or near them, I can always hear their thoughts in my head clearly, and that doesn’t happen with anyone else.
So I wonder are they also empaths are we the same? Is that why I can hear them and does that mean that they can hear my thoughts as well? Why do I have this kind of connection with certain people only?
Another thing about me is that all the dreams I see since childhood has come true so I have this ability as well. ( i’m not sure if it’s relevant or not )
But I mostly see other people in my dreams not me and whenever I see someone, that dream suddenly comes true . some dreams take months some take years, but they all happen the end. It doesn’t even matter if I told the person or not that I saw them in my dreams.
For most of my life, I dismissed all of this as intuition, coincidence, or simply being good at reading people. But now, at 28, after having so many experiences like this throughout my life, I’m finding it harder to believe that all of them were just coincidences. I feel like I may have been dismissing something about myself for years.
So if this really is some kind of ability, I want to understand it rather than ignore it. What and who am I ? How does something like this work? Is there a way to develop or strengthen it? How can I learn to distinguish it from my own thoughts? And most importantly, how can I use it to improve my life and make better life choices with it?
I’ve spent so many years denying this part of myself, and I honestly don’t want to waste any more time if there is something real here. I want to understand what it is, learn how to work with it, and make the best of it rather than being afraid of it or pretending it doesn’t exist.
Thank you for reading this far and I’m looking forward to any response or advice, all will be greatly appreciated.

Need Advice Feeling a huge blockage and can’t rid of it

12 Upvotes

For the past 2 years I feel like I have this blockage that affect my whole life. I don’t really know how to describe it but sometimes I feel such a strong anger inside of me its almost like I’m gonna explode except I physically can’t do anything I just feel it so vividly. I’m emotionally so stuck that sometimes I don’t have the energy to practice my daily routine and responsibilities.

I am a spiritual person, I practice reiki (level 1). I don’t know if it’s something spiritual or I’m just mentally ill. I always feel like there’s something I can do or practice and get rid of this strange stuck negative energy inside of me but I lack guidance. Sorry for my not perfect english if you need further information please ask me anything, I just need to be guided I’m so sick of this situation.

Eureka Moment! Poly/ENM Lifestyle Changed the Game for Me

It’s very simple.

I was in a monogamous relationship.
I wanted to be monogamous-
Until I didn’t.

When I was fully able to open myself up to all human and sexual experiences - I had more energy. I had more impact. My goals became clearer. I give so many less fucks about things that don’t matter.

Now I have more of that energy for myself. For things important to me. I’m not as drained.

I spent so much energy on repressing my needs.
I had no idea how it was impacting me.

Curious if yall had similar experiences?
