Rejection sensitivity makes saying no feel physically dangerous. Understand why boundaries feel like attacks and how your nervous system keeps you trapped.
Social masking is the constant editing of your authentic responses. Understand why being “easy” exhausts you and what it costs your relationships.
Emotional monitoring isn’t sensitivity—it’s learned hypervigilance. Understand why people pleasers read the room first and the cost of constant emotional scanning.
