Relational trauma is healed in relationships
Why: We can do a lot on our own, but healing has a ceiling when we stay isolated.
The real work is stepping back into where it started: relationships.
Through active listening, curiosity, and empathy, we rewrite old patterns together.
Find the people who help you feel safe and supported again — without them, it’s easy to shut down and call it self-protection.
Set boundaries with those who can’t meet you there yet. If they’re still not friends with their own pain, they won’t know how to be friendly with yours either.
Finding your people takes trial and error. Keep going!
