Emotions are just states that constantly change. No emotional state stays forever. Also emotions are survivable. This is what my therapist always said. You are not the emotions, which are the clouds, you are the sky that’s always there, no matter which emotion arises.

Some of the things you call red flags might actually be the healthiest signs you’ve ever seen.

If you grew up in a difficult environment where these following greenflags were not familiar or even dangerous, that’s not surprising.

Because when chaos was normal, when you got hurt, safety can feel wrong.

Calm feels boring. Consistency suspicious. And closeness can feel dangerous.

Ladies & Gentlemen, welcome to today’s episode, where we talk about 7 Trauma-Driven Green Flags, That Are Actually Red

You might think you’ve found the one — they’re kind, attentive, emotionally open… But what if those ‘green flags’ are actually coming from unresolved trauma?

Therefore today, I’ll walk you through 7 behaviors that look like emotional maturity or even love but are secretly warning signs rooted in anxious attachment, fawning, codependency, or toxic shame.

If you’re someone healing from CPTSD, this might just change how you see "healthy" relationships forever.

There is a way to crush you pink glasses for someone now.

But let me warn you up front: This way is not good advice, neither will it end your romantic obsession problems long term.

Still, it works if you want to stop intrusive thought about someone instantly.

The solution is: Get more options!

Get another or even better - more surfaces for your projections of your fantasies aka limerent objects
