You’ve built your life around keeping others safe. From conflict. From consequence. From their own pain. But the day you decide to protect yourself instead— everything changes. Carl Jung warned that the moment the empath turns inward, the old system begins to collapse. The people who benefited from your protection will call you selfish. The guilt will claw at you. And the Shadow will whisper: “Go back. It’s safer there.” In this video, you’ll discover: 🛡️ Why self-protection feels “wrong” for the wounded empath 🛡️ The hidden abandonment fear that fuels overprotection of others 🛡️ How your identity is built on being the shield 🛡️ Why boundaries trigger both your guilt and others’ anger 🛡️ How to survive the backlash and keep choosing yourself Protecting yourself is not betrayal. It’s alignment. You are not responsible for saving everyone. You are responsible for not abandoning yourself. 💬 COMMENT “I CHOOSE ME” if you’re ready to turn your shield inward 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more Carl Jung insights & empath healing ❤️ LIKE to help other empaths see the truth #CarlJung #EmpathHealing #ShadowWork #Boundaries #SelfProtection #InnerChildHealing #JungianPsychology #CodependencyRecovery #EmotionalHealing #Authenticity
