Most couples do not wake up one morning and decide they want to feel distant. Disconnection tends to happen quietly. Life gets full. Stress builds. Small misunderstandings turn into familiar arguments. Conversations become more practical than personal. Affection fades not because love disappears, but because the relationship stops feeling like a safe place to land.

Anxiety and trauma can quietly shape the way you think, feel, and move through the world. Even when you have learned to function outwardly, your internal experience may still feel chaotic, overwhelming, or disconnected. You may find yourself constantly tense, feeling unsafe for reasons you cannot fully explain, or unable to stop cycles of worry.
