THERAPIST REFLECTION
Sometimes peace feels unfamiliar before it feels safe. If your nervous system learned that love meant unpredictability, healthy relationships can initially feel "boring." Healing isn't about forcing yourself to feel differently overnight — it's about giving your nervous system enough new experiences that calm begins to feel like home.
