Complex trauma is organized around adaptation, which means that survivors may look “fine” on the outside while living in bodies shaped by chronic threat.

When your feelings were met with minimization, punishment, or isolation you learnt they wouldn't be met with care. Over time, expressing your needs began to feel unsafe. So, you adapted. You turned inward. You ignored what you were feeling.

The wound it created... "Loving me has conditions".

As an adult, you might feel a quiet shame anytime a need arises. You second-guess asking for help. You tell yourself you're fine. You feel guilty for wanting more - and fear that your emotions will push people away.

Healing from emotional neglect is not about having insight of what happened to you and how it impacted you. It's about experiencing felt emotional contact with someone who can stay present, attuned, and regulated.

This kind of contact can feel unfamiliar, even threatening at first. But it's how the nervous system begins to rewire what it expects from emotional connection. This is why somatic and relational approaches are essential. They help you feel what was once missing and build your tolerance for emotional intimacy.

If you're a survivor of relational trauma and you’re looking to reconnect with your body, rebuild self-trust, and practice self-compassion in a safe-enough and supportive environment, you’re welcome to join our Trauma-Informed Yoga community.

Join us every Saturday at 11 AM EST to begin your journey to recovery in a compassionate space where you can progress at your own pace to a more empowered version of yourself.

Are you actually keeping your own boundaries?

Because if it's not 100% of the time, it's not a boundary. It's a suggestion.

That 10%—the times you do nothing when you said you'd do something else—teaches the real rule: Push hard enough, and I'll reconsider.

Boundaries aren’t about controlling what the other person does. They’re about doing what you say you’ll do.

Because people don't learn from what you say. They learn from what you do.

Becoming someone new does not require force or certainty. It happens quietly as you listen more closely to what feels true and release what no longer fits. Alignment often feels like relief, like your body finally recognizing the direction your heart has been pointing toward all along.

There may be moments when growth feels slow or unfamiliar, but that does not mean you are off course. Each choice rooted in honesty brings you closer to a life that feels steady, meaningful, and deeply your own. Trust the unfolding, even when you cannot yet see the full picture.

You are moving toward a life that honors who you truly are.
