How Trauma Shapes Your Actions

You’re not “too nice.”

You’re not “overreacting.”

You’re surviving the world you came from.

So many people confuse trauma with being broken.

But trauma is an education your brain learning how to stay safe in an environment that once threatened you.

That’s why you act without thinking.

Those patterns were written into your neurology, cell by cell, long before you had a choice.

Crystal didn’t become nice for no reason.

She became nice because it kept her safe.

And you?

Your behaviors, your hypervigilance, your people-pleasing, your shutting down aren’t flaws.

They’re survival codes.

The event didn’t give you PTSD.

Your brain captured pieces of it... meanings, sounds, expressions
And uses them to protect you today.

You’re not broken.

You’re alive.

But now it’s time to update the old programming.
