Your nervous system learned danger before you had words. It learned to scan, brace, flinch, disappear. It learned that relaxation was a trap.
Can it unlearn all that? Yes. But not through insight. Safety is not a concept. It's a physiological state. It's your exhale longer than your inhale. Your shoulders dropping without being told.
Safety is relearned through repetition.
