There’s a simple Gestalt idea that explains so much of why you feel tired, resentful, or disconnected from yourself:
The cycle of experience.
It’s the natural flow your system follows when a need appears —
from sensing it, to understanding it, to acting on it, to resting.
When this cycle moves freely, you feel clear and connected.
When it’s interrupted, you lose contact with what you need.
And most interruptions sound like this:
“I shouldn’t ask.”
“I don’t want to bother anyone.”
“It’s fine — I’ll manage.”
Your energy turns against your need instead of toward it.
But: you can relearn this cycle.
With small, consistent choices — pausing before you answer, naming your needs, choosing one small “no” — your system begins to trust you again.
If you want support with this work, my BOUNDARIES UPGRADED workbook will guide you through it.
Comment BOUNDARIES and I’ll send it to you.
With love,
