I kept watching what I am seeing around immigration enforcement and the way people talk about human dignity like it is negotiable, and it showed up in my body.

It made me feel bad. The lesson I received was that I can protect my mental health without shutting down by limiting intake, grounding my nervous system, and using my voice without debating, and you will get clear steps to do that.
