One Day You'll Realize
One day, you’ll realize your body was never against you.
It was protecting you.
That shutdown, the overthinking, the need to control, the emotional numbness…they aren’t flaws in your personality; they’re your nervous system’s way of saying,
“I don’t feel safe.”
When you’ve experienced trauma or chronic stress, your brain learns to prioritize survival over connection.
So you might find yourself withdrawing when things get too close, getting angry when you actually feel scared, or staying “busy” because slowing down feels unsafe.
This is your body doing its best with the information it has.
Healing begins when you stop fighting those patterns and start understanding them.
Because the moment your system feels safe, it no longer needs to protect you in the same way.
Your body isn’t the problem; it’s the guide. 🌿
Follow for more nervous system–based insights and gentle reminders — and save this for the days you feel frustrated with yourself. 💛
