Rapunzel
The Protected Heart Learning to Trust Your Core Pattern
The Walled Heart
You control intimacy to avoid potential hurt
Your Journey So Far
You've built impressive walls to keep yourself safe, but now they feel more like prison than protection. Like Rapunzel, you learned early that the world could be dangerous, so you created distance between yourself and potential hurt. Your tower represents both your strength and your isolation.
Your emotional fortress wasn't built from weakness—it was intelligent self-preservation. Perhaps someone you trusted hurt you, or maybe life taught you that vulnerability meant pain. The tower served its purpose, keeping you safe during vulnerable times, but now it's become a barrier to the connections you crave. Your metaphorical hair represents the controlled ways you let others in-on your terms, at your pace, with your rules.
Your Wall-Building Triggers...
- Past betrayal creates hypervigilance
- Rejection sensitivity leads to preemptive withdrawal
- Perfectionism delays connection until you feel "ready"
- Fear of abandonment prevents deep attachment
Your Descent Strategy...
- Map your walls - identify which relationships feel restricted
- Practice micro-vulnerabilities - share one small truth weekly
- Challenge safety assumptions - question if all your fears are current
- Create connection rituals - regular check-ins with trusted people
- Celebrate brave moments - acknowledge each step toward openness
