Reminder: It’s Not This Situation — It’s the Old Training
• This feeling isn’t about this person or this moment. My anxiety is reacting to old conditioning, not present danger.
• I was trained to keep the peace at all costs. My body learned that approval once meant safety.
• This pressure to fix everything is an echo from the past, not a reflection of who I am now.
• My nervous system is firing an outdated alarm. I can remind it that I’m not that person anymore.
• People-pleasing was a survival skill. It kept me safe then, but I don’t need it to keep me safe now.
• I’m allowed to disappoint people, say no, or let someone be upset—without losing connection or safety.
• Healing means responding based on my values, not my conditioning.
• I can feel the anxiety… and still choose a healthier pattern.
