Beginning
Sensitivity
A sudden emotional trigger or family event makes you feel highly sensitive.
Early Phase
Overwhelm
You feel overwhelmed by the demands of the outside world and start pulling back.
Middle

Peak
Processing
A deep realization or an emotional release (crying, journaling, confronting) occurs.
Closing Phase
Healing
You emerge feeling lighter, having processed the emotional backlog.
Internal Dialogue
