Healing the Guilt That Keeps You Small

If you’ve ever felt guilty for having needs, setting boundaries, or taking up space—this episode is for you.

We’re unpacking the kind of guilt that doesn’t come from doing something wrong, but from trying to stay safe.

For those of us with anxious attachment, guilt can feel like a constant hum in the background—shaping our choices, silencing our truth, and keeping us small.

In this episode, I’m diving into:

  • The difference between true guilt, false guilt, and shame
  • How guilt shows up in anxious attachment
  • How to heal unhelpful guilt responses on a nervous system level
  • What it really looks like to forgive yourself and move forward
