Your brain wasn’t overreacting. It was protecting you.

That tight chest from a tone of voice. That shutdown in a meeting. It’s not weakness — it’s your smoke detector firing before your thinking brain catches up.

During therapy and supervision, we don’t erase that memory. We update it.

We show the body: That was then. This is now. You are safe enough to stay.

That update happens slowly, with safety, not pressure. That’s neuroplasticity. That’s healing.
