Freeze isn’t weakness. It’s wisdom.

When neither fight nor flight feels possible, your body activates a different kind of safety, a pause.

This ancient reflex allows you to survive the unbearable.

You don’t need to push through it. You can listen to it.

Healing begins when you realize your body isn’t betraying you. It’s protecting you.

Sometimes, your body doesn’t shut down, it pauses.

When life feels too heavy, your nervous system knows how to protect you. That stillness, fog, or numbness you feel isn’t laziness or weakness.

It’s your body saying, “I need safety before I can move again.”

When you stop judging that pause and start listening to it, healing begins.

We often underestimate the grief of “what didn’t happen.” But naming those losses is powerful. It allows you to honor the child in you who deserved more.

We grieve not just what happened, but also what we longed for and never received. The comfort that never arrived, the protection that wasn’t there, the attunement that could have changed everything. Naming what was missing is part of healing.

We often think of childhood wounds as the things that happened to us: the yelling, the rejection, the punishments. But many wounds come from what didn’t happen. The hugs that never came. The safety that wasn’t there. The words of encouragement we needed but didn’t hear. Absence leaves marks, too.

09/23/2025

When we think about childhood wounds, we often focus on the obvious, what happened. The moments of harm, conflict, neglect, or trauma that left scars.

But wounding isn’t only about what was done. It’s also about what wasn’t done.

The hugs you didn’t get.
The encouragement that never came.
The safety and consistency that weren’t there.
The listening ear that was missing when you needed it most.

Absence leaves marks, too. Growing up without essential care, presence, or attunement shapes our nervous systems and our sense of self just as much as direct harm. Sometimes even more.

Healing begins when we can name both truths:

The pain of what happened.
The grief of what never did.

Both are real. Both matter. And neither means you are broken; They mean you were shaped by what you lived through and what you lived without.

If this resonates, you’re not alone. I write more about trauma, attachment, and healing on my blog. 🌿 Link in bio

What if the emotional intensity, the fear of abandonment, the shifts…
aren’t signs of a broken personality, but a nervous system doing its best to survive?

Many of the traits labeled “Borderline” are actually the echoes of complex trauma.

Let’s stop shaming survivors for their pain and start listening to what the pain is trying to tell us.

Sometimes healing means talking less… and listening more.
Not just to your thoughts, but to the tightness in your chest, the urge to curl in, the way your breath shortens when old memories stir.

EMDR helps your mind reprocess the story.
Somatic work helps your body release the grip.
Together, they make space for something you might not have felt in years: safety that sticks.

Your story matters. Your body’s wisdom matters. And together, they can guide your healing.

What the world labeled “disorder” might just be survival.

What looks like shutdown or chaos may be the result of a body that had to do too much, too early, for too long.

Complex trauma shaped how you see yourself. But you are more than what hurt you.

If you’re ready to explore this gently, the blog post is a good place to begin. Or reach out for support.

Some trauma shows up in:
How you attach.
How you disconnect.
How you abandon yourself to avoid abandonment by others.

Complex trauma doesn’t always come with vivid memories. It lives in patterns, body language, and the spaces between.
And it deserves to be met with care, not shame.

You don’t need to be labeled to be valid.

You don’t need a DSM code to deserve support.

You don’t need a diagnosis to heal.
Your body knows what happened. And your healing is real, even if the system didn’t name it.

This blog post is for the ones who’ve always felt “on the edge” of what gets named. You are not invisible.

If therapy left you feeling unseen, misunderstood, or “resistant,” you’re not alone.

Many traditional approaches weren’t built to hold the layered complexity of cPTSD or neurodivergence.

You don’t need to push harder. You need an approach that meets you with attunement, safety, and slowness.

The blog post offers language and frameworks that might help you feel more fully seen in your healing.
