Nov 6, 2026

This playlist follows the book’s emotional movement from social vigilance and the urge to keep everyone happy toward self-compassion and a steadier sense of self. Its instrumental selections offer grounding and room to reflect, while its vocal songs touch on approval-seeking, boundaries, and the relief of becoming more fully yourself.
