Give yourself permission to notice.

This reflection is not here to tell you what you should feel or what your experience means. It is simply an invitation to notice what is true for you.

Some questions may feel immediately relevant, while others may not. Answer as honestly as you can, without trying to reach a particular result.

There is nothing to prove here.

You may choose Prefer not to answer whenever you do not wish to respond.

This is a spiritual and educational self-reflection, not a diagnosis or a substitute for assessment or care from a qualified healthcare professional.
