## Caption

Sometimes therapy isn’t about reparenting or rewiring.
Sometimes it’s just the quiet recognition:

You were never the problem. It wasn’t your fault. 

You were responding brilliantly, nervously, protectively to environments that made it unsafe to have needs.

You didn’t overreact.
You adapted.

Let this land:
You are allowed to take up space, have needs, and receive care.
