You were never too sensitive just silenced too early. If you’ve ever smiled through pain, swallowed grief at a birthday table, or held back tears to keep peace this episode is for you.

A poetic reflection on unspoken emotions, survival patterns, and the nervous system’s quiet cry for release.

This is where healing begins in the honesty of what was never said.

Episode 8: The Silenced Page ~ What You Swallowed to Survive

Sometimes, silence is what we choose when our feelings feel unsafe to be seen.

In this episode, I offer a raw and reflective poem titled Suppressed but Not Forgotten for every moment you put your own emotions aside to keep things together.

For the smile you wore when your voice trembled.

For the ache you carried alone.

I also explore a quote on how the body remembers and a reflective question to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that were silenced but never truly gone.

Themes explored in this episode include:

emotional suppression • poetry for trauma • nervous system healing • survival responses • unspoken grief • sensitivity as strength • people-pleasing recovery • gentle self-compassion
