How many times have you said yes when your whole body was saying no?
How many times have you stayed quiet to avoid conflict, changed your needs to keep someone else comfortable, or felt responsible for another person's emotional reaction?
In this episode of the High Frequency Bubble Podcast, Vera Korepta explores the deeper pattern behind people-pleasing: self-abandonment.
We dive into why keeping the peace can sometimes feel safer than telling the truth, how nervous system patterns can influence the way you respond to conflict, and why setting boundaries can feel uncomfortable even when they are healthy.
You'll discover how to recognise self-abandonment in everyday life, stop over-explaining your boundaries, create a cleaner relationship with saying no, and practise what Vera calls self-loyalty - staying connected to yourself even when someone else is disappointed.
Inside this episode, we explore: • Self-abandonment and people-pleasing • Why saying no can feel unsafe • Nervous system regulation and emotional safety • How to stop managing everyone else's emotions • Setting boundaries without becoming cold or disconnected • Over-explaining and guilt after saying no • Choosing yourself without feeling selfish • Building self-trust and self-loyalty • Listening to your body before automatically saying yes • Creating your own High Frequency Bubble • A powerful self-loyalty activation and grounding practice
Vera also guides you through a simple Sacred Pause practice to help you reconnect with your body before responding to requests, expectations, or emotional pressure.
Ask yourself: If nobody was disappointed by my answer, what would I choose?
Your next level is not asking you to stop loving other people. It is asking you to stop abandoning yourself in order to receive love.
Soft heart. Clear boundaries. Open energy. Strong centre.
