Neuroplasticity

You didn’t choose the nightmare.
But your nervous system
had to survive it.
It wired you
for fear, for vigilance, for protection.
And that wiring is real.
It kept you alive.
But now Slowly, Gently
You can invite in new patterns.
Not by pretending the pain wasn’t real.
But by practicing
Safety in small moments.
Neuroplasticity isn’t about
“thinking positive.”
It’s about finding safety
so often that your brain
starts to believe it.
Little by little,
Peace can become familiar again.
