A hand-drawn Sankey diagram illustrating the psychological bottlenecks preventing emotional security. Blue flows represent baseline positive states (happiness, security, energy, agency, good feelings) that get disrupted by various black bottlenecks including neuroplasticity limitations, emotional illiteracy, self-loathing, and trigger sensitivity. The diagram uses flowing lines to show how foundational well-being gets blocked at multiple psychological junctures.
