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.
