YOU CAN'T MANIFEST YOUR WAY OUT OF RAGE

Shame. Trauma. Nervous system chaos. And why your gratitude journal isn’t going to save you.

I’ve seen it all over the place—just raise your frequency, babe. Think better thoughts. Be grateful. Forgive your past. Visualise abundance. Heal your inner child. Say thank you to the pain. Say thank you to the people who hurt you. Thank your ex. Thank your parents. Thank the fucking universe.

But what if I’m not grateful?

What if I’m furious?

What if my nervous system has been soaked in shame for so long that it flinches at softness and shuts down when someone offers love?

Because here’s the thing nobody tells you: You can’t frequency your way out of a trauma response.

You can’t affirm your way out of a dysregulated nervous system that’s been hijacked by survival mode for decades.

You can’t script over the fact that you were handed crumbs and told to feast like a queen.

WHEN MANIFESTATION MEETS A SHAME-SOAKED BODY

If your body has lived in shame, your entire system is wired for punishment. You expect things to go wrong. You wait for the moment you’ll be exposed, abandoned, left behind. You can’t believe you deserve softness, let alone luxury.

So when you sit down to manifest your “dream life” or “next level self,” your body—not your mind—is already bracing for impact. It doesn’t feel safe to receive. It feels threatening.

Not because you’re negative.

Not because you’re broken.

But because you’ve adapted to a world that told you you weren’t enough.

AND STILL - YOU'RE ANGRY

Let’s talk about that.

Let’s talk about the part that doesn’t want to be grateful. That doesn’t want to journal about abundance. That doesn’t want to light a candle and thank the moon. The part that wants to scream: fuck you for handing me scraps and calling it destiny.

Because that part isn’t your shadow. That part is your truth.And she’s tired of being polite.

RAGE IS NOT A BAD VIBE

Rage is not blocking your blessings.

Rage is sacred. Rage is clarifying. Rage says:“This was never okay.” Rage says: “I deserved better.” Rage says: “You can’t gaslight me into silence anymore.”

And when you give her a seat at the table—when you let your anger be holy—you start to see something miraculous:

Your nervous system exhales. Your shame loses grip. Your worth no longer depends on how healed, grateful, or gentle you appear.

THIS IS NERVOUS SYSTEM WORK

Healing doesn’t always look like glowing skin and peaceful mornings. Sometimes it looks like trembling hands, like saying no more, like finally admitting that what happened fucking hurt.

This is where the real frequency shift begins: Not in bypassing your pain, but in meeting it head-on. Not in thanking your trauma, but in tending to the part of you that still aches.

So if you’re not feeling grateful today? If you’re angry, messy, done with it all?

Good.

That means your body is starting to trust that you’re strong enough to feel it.

And that, my love, is the beginning of everything.
