@laurelwiers: When you've lived with unpredictability for years, your nervous system often learns to see quiet moments as a sign that something bad is coming. If you find yourself waiting for the next crisis, know that this isn't a personality flaw. It's a survival strategy your body created to protect you. True healing isn't about forcing yourself to "just relax"; it's about gently showing your nervous system that it’s finally safe to exhale and stop bracing for impact. #healtok #healingtok #anxietytok #therapytok
