THE PROTECTION IN MY HEAD
FAQ - The Protection in my head

How to trigger the protection in my head?

What if I am not able to protect myself?

What if people find I am too much?
The protection in my mind occurs when my Ego’s purpose to protect me aligns with the circumstances I face. These are the situations where I am justified in feeling scared, fearful, or angry, and my Ego steps in to help me react appropriately. These are moments when I need to take action to escape discomfort or danger.
This protection often manifests through strong emotions, such as anger or stress.
In context, these emotions become assets—they are legitimate (from my perspective) because they help me respond to challenges and safeguard myself against external threats.
These intense emotions empower me to act. They provide the energy needed to say “stop” and establish the boundaries I require.
For instance, when I feel angry, I can channel that boiling energy to stand up for myself or argue back when the situation demands it. Or when I feel scared, my Ego helps me identify the best course of action to ensure my safety. Also when I feel sad but the environment doesn’t permit me to express it, my Ego gives me the strength to hold back my tears and release them when the time is right.
The protection in my mind is a form of self-preservation. It’s the courage to shield myself in moments when I feel vulnerable. It is my Ego passing its bravery onto me, ensuring I can face the challenges in front of me.
Rest assured, everyone has the ability to protect themselves—absolutely everyone.
Think of it like a muscle. It’s there, ready and available in our body, but it needs to be trained to gain strength. I need to practice standing up for myself, step by step. Just like building muscular mass at the gym, this ability will grow day by day until it feels strong and natural.
There’s no shortcut; the only way to develop this skill is through practice.
At first, it will feel intimidating because we’re so unused to acting this way. We might be convinced that others will react poorly or that some big drama will unfold as a result of our actions. Often, we begin with what feels like a bold and significant step... only to discover that it goes largely unnoticed. What felt monumental to us might seem minor to others.
One thing is guaranteed: the reaction we receive will rarely be what we anticipated. We are often surprised! Along with that comes an important realization: nothing terrible happened. The world kept turning, and so did I. And this is how I will start change and better protect myself: I will be able to experience it works, and nothing awful happens.
So, take it one small step at a time, but never doubt this truth: everyone has this dormant skill within them, waiting to be awakened. The more actions I take, the more I will reinforce my belief this is working and good for me.
Change is uncomfortable, and it comes with a learning curve. When I begin to stand up for myself, it is natural that I won’t master the skill of protecting myself right away.
Here are two key principles to remember:
1. I can’t stop people from talking. Some people might already have opinions about me, and others may join in—that’s just how it is. Let them talk; their opinions don’t define me. What matters is what I think and what I do. I can choose to engage with them in conversation, or I can move on.
Either way, I’m doing what feels right for me, and only I can judge that. I can’t please everyone, and that is OK.
2. It is normal to overcompensate while learning. After years of staying silent, I might swing to the opposite extreme, speaking up about every detail. That’s okay—it is part of the process.
Over time, I will find my balance. Just as learning to walk involves falling, learning to assert myself means I might overdo it at first. The people who truly care about me will still love me, even as I navigate this learning curve.
In short, I may be "too much" at times—and that’s OK. Plus it is not unique to me: everyone has moments like this. It’s part of being human.
