When Things Feel Safe, I Start to Panic
When Things Feel Safe, I Start to Panic
Safety feels unsafe when your body grew up in fear.
Nothing was wrong.
And still, my body waited for something to go wrong.
For footsteps.
For shouting.
For the moment peace breaks.
A true psychological memoir about growing up in fear - and what happens when safety never feels safe.
It explores:
- childhood trauma and hypervigilance
- a body that does not trust calm
- anxiety that stays after danger ends
- relationships that feel “too peaceful” to believe
Some people heal when life becomes quiet.
I started to panic.
