Brad Schipke explains how trauma rewires your nervous system to see closeness as dangerous, not because you don't want to trust but because your body learned that intimacy means hurt. Once you feel safe again, trust rebuilds naturally.
Why does trauma make it hard to trust anyone? Well, it's not like you don't want to trust people. It's that your body doesn't feel safe enough to. When someone you relied on or loved once hurt you, your nervous system learned that closeness equals danger. It's confusing because you want to connect with somebody, but your body won't let you. Those aren't trust issues. It's actually a protection mechanism. But here's the truth. Once your body learns safety again, trust starts rebuilding on its own. You stop second-guessing, and that's when real connection becomes possible. If you're ready to learn how to rebuild that kind of safety from the inside out, make sure to subscribe and watch some of my longer videos.
