There was no obscene trauma, just a long, cumulative sense of feeling disconnected. From ease, the warmth, the naturalness other people seemed to have with themselves and each other.

This isn't stored as a memory you can revisit and reframe.
It's stored as a body-level prediction, an assumption your nervous system formed long before you had language for any of it.
The assumption goes something like: needing people doesn't really work. Being fully yourself isn't quite safe. Closeness is costly.
You didn't decide to believe these things. You learned them.
And because it lives in the body, below conscious thought (understanding doesn't dissolve it).
Relationship-based wounds, are healed by relationships.
