Carried: Umbilical Hernia (Bulging inner organ through the belly button)
“When I used my own power as a child, they recoiled as if it were something evil, so I learned to pull it back in.”
It runs as power drawn back in, a felt prevention from, or fear of, accessing one's own potency, clout and capacity to make an impact, because using it as a child drew a reaction of threat, as though the power itself were evil. The pulling-back feels like safety; it keeps a real force sealed off from a life that needs it. The clinical name is a shape, not a diagnosis. What it asks for is one small, deliberate use of one's own power.
The Golem, whose great power was raised, then feared as monstrous by the very ones who made it, and drawn back into stillness. The form implies a task: to let one's own power move without being deactivated for it.
