The calendar doesn’t stop when your heart breaks. We dive into the invisible mental load that betrayal creates—those long days of smiling at work, holding it together for the kids, and lying awake while your brain scans for threats. I share how that constant vigilance is your nervous system trying to protect you, why it’s so exhausting, and what actually lightens the weight.
Together we name what’s happening in your body—tight jaw, heavy chest, brain fog—and the mental noise that makes everything heavier: I should be over this, everyone else seems fine, why can’t I forget. Then we pivot to practical, humane tools. You’ll hear simple ways to release pressure without blowing up your life: five-minute resets, dark journaling to drain rumination, trimming nonessentials, and swapping intensity for gentler routines. We look at the difference between functioning and healing, and how rest isn’t just sleep—it’s relief from worry.
You’ll also learn how to regulate from the bottom up. Instead of trying to outthink survival mode, we use somatic cues—breath, movement, hydration, sunlight, and sensory grounding—to teach your body it’s safe to settle. We talk boundaries around phone-checking and reassurance loops, choosing “good enough” as a skill, and why you don’t need to be stronger—you need to be supported. If betrayal trauma has you stuck in hypervigilance, this conversation offers clear language, grounded tools, and permission to heal while still living.
