Archetype: The Silenced One Core Wound: My voice doesn’t matter Core Theme: Truth, Expression, Visibility
There is a silence that doesn’t come from peace. It comes from fear. The fear of being misunderstood. The fear of being too much. The fear that your truth will cost you love, safety, belonging. This is the silence that shapes the Core of Expression. Not a silence of stillness—but of suppression. You learned to swallow your truth. To speak in the language others needed from you. To keep your thoughts behind your teeth, even when your body screamed to be heard.
When this Core is tender, expression feels dangerous. Your voice might tremble or disappear altogether. You might over-explain to make others comfortable, or stay quiet to avoid conflict. You may speak, but not really say anything. You may nod in agreement when every cell in your body wants to scream. You may carry unspoken truths in your throat like stones—too heavy to hold, too risky to release.
But your voice is sacred. Not because it’s eloquent or perfect, but because it is yours. Because it carries your knowing. Because it is the sound of your self returning home.
The Core of Expression Hypnotherapy. Let it take you into the layers beneath the silence. Let it help you remember: your voice isn’t dangerous. It’s divine.
