In this episode of Healing CPTSD, we explore the vital process of reclaiming your “No” — and why learning to set boundaries is such a powerful act of self-respect. We'll unpack how childhood conditioning and trauma can disconnect us from our natural boundaries, leaving us unsure how to say no without guilt or fear. We'll also explores the misunderstood energy of anger, not as something to suppress but as a protective force that signals where our limits lie.


Through real-world examples and somatic insights, this episode offers gentle, practical steps for reconnecting with your body’s cues, practising “small nos,” and honouring your emotional and physical boundaries.


In this episode, we cover:

  • Why trauma makes saying “no” difficult
  • How anger protects and restores boundaries
  • Reconnecting with your body’s yes and no
  • Somatic practices for asserting yourself safely
  • The importance of self-compassion and integration
