                                            đż Ever found yourself overthinking someoneâs facial expression?
Maybe you walk into a room and someone barely glances your way⌠and your brain instantly goes:
âOh no. Theyâre annoyed. Iâve said something wrong. They donât like me.â đŹ
But what if I told you, itâs not you, itâs your trauma brain?
When weâve been through emotional pain, our nervous system gets rewired for protection. It becomes a little too good at scanning for threat⌠and a lot less skilled at seeing things clearly.
đ Your brain starts reading neutral or even friendly faces as dangerous.
đ Your ventral vagal pathway, the part that helps you feel calm and connected, goes offline.
đ You end up filtering the present through the lens of past pain.
đ And you miss out on connection, because your brainâs too busy trying to keep you safe.
This is what trauma does, it distorts our perception so weâre reacting to old wounds, not current reality.
The good news?
đ Your nervous system can be rewired.
đ You can feel safe, connected, and calm in your body again.
đ You can learn to trust yourself and others without going into hyper-alert mode.
This is the work I do with my clients, helping them release old patterns, calm their nervous systems, and reconnect with who they really are underneath all that overprotection.
⨠If youâve noticed you misread peopleâs faces, jump to conclusions, or feel constantly âon edgeâ in social situations, youâre not broken. Youâre in survival mode.
You just need support to gently come back to safety. And thatâs possible đ
