Tension in the throat. A shift in breathing.
A sudden urge to pull close or push away.
These responses were once solutions.
What signals does your body feel when safety becomes uncertain?

Your attachment system can learn new settings.
The alarms that once kept you safe and the habits that once made sense can shift gently as your world becomes safer.
Your system is designed to change.
What signals does your body feel when change starts to seem possible?

Some responses make perfect sense given what you’ve lived through.
Some can soften with #support.
What signals does your body give you when old patterns return?

#SecureAttachment feels like steady ground.
#Connection doesn’t shake your whole system,
& distance doesn’t set off every alarm.
It trusts that people can move close without consuming you
& move away without #abandoning you.
#SignalsNSurvival 4/26
Some part of you already knows this feeling
& can slowly grow back into it.
What signals does your body give you
when #connection actually feels safe?

#SecureAttachment feels like steady ground.
#Connection doesn’t shake your whole system
& distance doesn’t set off every alarm.
It trusts that people can move close
without consuming you
and move away
without abandoning you.
