The Compassionate Inquiry Pause — Reflection

Step 2 — What did you notice in your body? Where were you holding tension or heaviness?
Step 3 — What feeling was actually present? (Name it without judgment)
Step 4 — What came up when you asked: 'When did I first learn that my needs were less important than someone else's?' (A memory, image, name, or sensation)
