Why does closeness feel threatening, even with safe people? Relational trauma teaches the nervous system that love and danger live in the same place. This isn't a mindset problem — it's a body-level response that once kept you safe.
In this session I explore what relational trauma is, how it develops, why the nervous system associates love with threat, and the patterns it creates: shutdown, hypervigilance, repetition, self-erasure. Plus what genuine healing — not the wellness industry version — actually requires.
Includes a full somatic guided journey: Coming Home to Safety in Your Body.
