Hi Megha, similar struggle with heart as i tend to give too much, sometimes from a skewed sense of obligation, and people take advantage then get angry when you say "enough", so now i have resentment and anger (definitely from childhood core) and can't (won't?) open it. Learning balance between compassion and detachment and giving love and acceptance to self. I too deal with emotional pain and rigidness from feeling I always need to be in a defensive position maybe? What you did yesterday is brave and i imagine must be a very difficult thing; no wonder you have pain! Sending you love! Hang in there!❤️❤️❤️🙏barb
