You may not consciously remember it, but your nervous system does. Your body’s cells remember. Your mind remembers. What feels like “overreacting” is actually your system responding in proportion to something real that you lived through.

At MyHeadSpace, we believe in honoring those reactions with compassion and validation. Healing begins when you stop dismissing your feelings and start listening to what your body and mind are trying to tell you.

✨ Make validation your default setting.
