This really cut through the noise. The way you broke down anticipatory guilt and how it works alongside shame hit hard. That pattern of overriding what we know is off just to avoid rocking the boat—it’s so familiar it’s scary.

Discernment doesn’t get enough attention because it isn’t flashy. But reading this reminded me how much courage it actually takes to pause, question, and not immediately fold back into the comfort of what we’re told to believe.

Thanks for laying it out so clearly without falling into performance. This was solid.
