🕊 Trusting Again After Abuse
It feels scary. It feels sacred. It feels like coming home to yourself.
🌊 Trust isn’t built all at once. It’s built in moments.
When someone keeps their word.
When you speak a truth and aren’t punished.
When you honor your own boundary.
These are the bricks of trust.
🧠 After long-term abuse, your brain expects danger.
Even when kindness arrives, it may feel suspicious.
That’s okay. That’s healing.
Your body is learning a new language: safety.
💬 You can say:
“I’m scared, but I want to trust.”
“I need to go slow.”
“My heart is open… and cautious. Both are true.”
❤️🩹 This is the work of sacred repair.
You’re not starting from scratch.
You’re starting from strength.
The kind of strength that chooses softness,
Even after everything.
🌿 You’re not too broken to love.
You’re not too late to trust.
You’re right on time.
