🖤 You Weren’t Meant to Do This Alone
There’s a lie that floats around healing spaces:
“You have to learn to be your own support system.”
No. You really don’t.
You can learn to trust yourself again. You can become your own safe place. But you’re still a human being—and humans are wired for support.
After trauma, your nervous system is on edge.
Your brain is scanning for threat.
Your body is holding grief, fear, anger, shame—maybe all at once.
And trying to carry that alone while also adulting, parenting, paying bills, rebuilding goals? That’s not strength. That’s overload.
Support doesn’t mean someone else fixes you.
It means someone else helps carry the weight while you figure out what healing looks like for you.
Support is structure.
Support is co-regulation.
Support is sacred.
And you deserve it.
