BACKLASH:



Backlash is a common reaction to new,
recovery behaviors. Anything to do with
owning our power and taking care of
ourselves can trigger feelings of shame, guilt,
and fear.

We do not have to allow these feelings to
control us. They're after-burn. Let them burn
out.

Many of us grew up with shame-based
messages that it wasn't okay to take care of
ourselves, be honest, be direct, and own our
power with people. Many of us grew up with
messages that it wasn't okay to be who we
were and resolve problems in relationships.

We don't have to take the backlash so
seriously. We don't have to let the after-burn
convince us that we are wrong and don't
have a right to take care of ourselves and
set boundaries.
