Missing someone after abuse does not mean you want the relationship again. It means your nervous system is still releasing attachment residue from a trauma bond that paired connection with distress and relief. Longing can surface without romantic desire, without confusion, and without any intention to return.

This episode breaks down why absence activates bonding circuits, how memory softens once threat is gone, and why attachment can linger long after clarity arrives. We explore the difference between missing, loving, and trauma bonding, and how to let longing move through the body without turning it into meaning, fantasy, or self-doubt.

Trauma disclosure is not intimacy. It’s information. And information creates leverage. In this episode, Meaghan breaks down why sharing your trauma too early in dating isn’t honesty or healing - it’s a nervous system bid for safety that quietly collapses power, polarity, and discernment.

You’ll learn why emotionally healthy men don’t need your story to treat you well, how oversharing creates false intimacy, and what earned safety actually looks like before vulnerability is placed. This is about pacing, protection, and sovereignty, not secrecy.

If you’re done handing people the blueprint to hurt you and ready to date from self-trust instead of survival, this episode is required listening.

Black Cat Academy is where women learn how to date with power, restraint, and discernment without overexplaining, oversharing, or abandoning themselves.
