She explains that freezing or going completely blank when asked simple questions—like where you want to eat or what you want for your birthday—is not a sign of being boring or indecisive, but a protective survival adaptation. When having unique desires historically led to conflict, punishment, or being labeled as selfish, the nervous system learned that keeping a \"blank surface\" was the safest way to maintain connection and avoid being a burden. Kamini walks listeners through how to gently dig beneath this self-erasing coping mechanism by starting with low-stakes, body-led check-ins—such as noticing physical comfort or choosing between two simple outfits—to rebuild self-trust and safely wake up your suppressed voice.\n🌟 Ready to take the next step on your journey?
