Summary

Feelings of shame, anger, and unworthiness do not persist because you lack insight. They persist because the body never got to finish what it started. When overwhelming experiences force you to shut down, internalize, or inhibit a response, the stress cycle remains incomplete. The energy of that moment stays active beneath the surface, shaping your reactions and your sense of self.
