When you leave a conversation wishing you had said something, that tightening in your throat is a signal from your body, not a failure on your part. Self-silencing often feels safer than speaking up, but it comes at a cost. The words you swallow can show up as tension, frustration, or even physical symptoms, because holding things in keeps your system in protection mode.

In this episode, I explore why self-silencing feels instinctive and what it takes to unwind that pattern. You'll learn how to recognise the difference between deliberate, grounded silence and the kind that keeps you stuck, as well as how to start speaking honestly in ways that strengthen rather than threaten your relationships.
