Men by the fire

A trauma bond means the body seeks out the person who made it restless. Not because it was good. Because it was familiar.

After a breakup there's often a pull. A message. A look at her profile. Then shame.

We don't work on forgetting her. We work on your body being with you again.

This is something for one-to-one work. If you want to read first, the text stays here. If you want to talk: conversation.
