As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I want to talk about something some women feel but rarely hear validated: why calm feels safer, love feels steadier, and emotional peace matters.
This resonance with me after a chaotic marriage where I soothed more than felt soothed. Its amazing how much recalibrating I had to do on my own to get my nervous system to feel safe again.
This shift for me came after I began my healing work. Once my defaults moved from chaos to calm and I learned to be comfortable in that space, I noticed how much my needs in relationships changed. Thanks for sharing.
“It means your nervous system no longer confuses anxiety with desire.” Put this on a shirt!! But this was good. 💙
