Naming the Silence

Your entry point if you feel things from a distance, or if you have spent years being the one who just managed.

This is where the quieter wounds live. Not the dramatic ones with clear causes and obvious names, but the kind that came from what was not there: a parent who did not ask, a house where feelings were not talked about, a childhood that looked fine from the outside. What was not given to you early does not stay in the past. It shows up in your adult life as emotional distance, self-sufficiency that feels more like isolation, and a persistent sense that something is missing without being able to say what.
