Being in survival mode for a long time can make moments of calm feel strange or even uncomfortable. That’s normal- you’re not broken, you’ve just been protecting yourself.
It’s okay to give yourself permission to rest. Small steps, like grounding exercises, mindful breathing, or talking with a therapist, can help you reconnect with a sense of calm.
You don’t have to do it alone. Our therapists at My Quiet Place Counseling NJ and Eclectic Psychotherapy are here to help you find balance at your own pace.
