Not all coping looks healthy.�And not all pain is visible.
When someone feels overwhelmed, ashamed, or emotionally flooded, the nervous system searches for relief.

Healing doesn’t begin with�“What’s wrong with you?”
It begins with�“What happened?”
If this feels personal, you deserve support without shame.
