After the Bond, the Quiet
When the trauma bond loosens, the silence can feel heavier than the chaos ever did.
Your nervous system was trained on urgency — not peace. When things finally slow down, the body doesn’t celebrate. It scans.
Nothing is wrong. This is safety before it becomes familiar.
Don’t rush to fill the space. Let the quiet teach your body that you no longer need to stay alert to survive.
Healing doesn’t always feel like relief. Sometimes it feels like stillness — and stillness is progress.
