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.
