Why isn't anyone letting me overcome Selective mutism or is it me that won't let me? Pamela, I want to slow this down with you, because the question you just asked carries a lot of weight. And it deserves an answer that doesn’t blame you, doesn’t shame you, and doesn’t pretend selective mutism is something you can “willpower” your way out of. Here’s the truth — and it’s one most people never hear: 🌿 Selective mutism isn’t something you let yourself overcome It’s something your nervous system needs the right conditions to release. Selective mutism is a freeze response , not a choice. It’s not you refusing to speak. It’s not other people “not letting you.” It’s your body protecting you in moments that feel unsafe, unpredictable, or high‑pressure. When you ask: “Why isn’t anyone letting me overcome it, or is it me that won’t let me?” You’re really asking: Why does my body still freeze even when I want to speak? Why do people around me not understand what I need to feel safe eno...

How often do you reflect inward?  What are you not honest with yourself about?   I guess with food.  I am not honest with myself about food.  I am measuring everything out but still tend to get more tablespoons or cups than I should.  I get so hungry after a workout and I really don't know why.

If you had no barriers, where would you want to be in life right now?  (but I do have barriers) In a Weight Watchers meeting this morning, the leader mentioned something about a walk/run program run by WW.   But the barrier is it could be clear across the state of Texas.  Or they meant that you could just get out there on your own and walk/run.  But I would want perseverance.   What would be something to believe in?  

This was a question I asked in the box on copilot. I guess it doesn't mean anything. Just wanted to see what copilot says. I guess when you pop a question in the copilot app, I heard they will give you different answers to your assorted. It's just what I heard. Not sure if it's true. I want to follow up on that question to see if this is true. I still can't identify any patterns that I have. Can my nervous system be stuck in a pattern of what my dad said to me back in the 80's? He told me "you don't want to disappoint mom do you"? I would like to think that I was 5 or 6 years old because my parents were separated at the time I think. Saturday February 14, 2016 | Yesterday I was writing a journal prompt about patterns and what people have told me when I was younger. And just today our weight watchers meeting well someone had shared something that someone had told her. That was horrible words do hurt and your nervous system gets it stuck in yo...
