We often talk about harm in romantic relationships…
But what happens when it shows up in more subtle, inconsistent, and harder to name ways…in family, friendships, workplaces, or even spaces intended for healing? 💭
Invisible Relational Harm (IRH) is what I use to describe subtle, often overlooked harm that is deeply felt in the mind, body, and nervous system. 🌿
It’s not always visible on the surface, but it is experienced internally…through emotional confusion, nervous system activation, and relational distress over time. 🤔
This is the space where things don’t always look “bad”…
but still don’t feel emotionally safe, steady, or clear.
If you’ve experienced this, you’re not imagining it.
Trust the nudges of your body. 🌹
