In this less than 5-minute soul-deep reflection, Dr. Allison Sucamele explores the subtle, often unconscious act of disavowal—when we sense a truth in our body or intuition but aren’t ready to fully acknowledge it. 

Drawing on insights from Jungian psychotherapist Hannah Fraser Moore, Dr. Sucamele unpacks why we sometimes hold truths at arm’s length, how this protects our nervous system, and the quiet cost of postponing what we know. 

You’ll leave with a gentle journal prompt and an invitation to let a little more truth in—not to shatter your world, but to begin building one that feels more aligned and honest.
