    Mejor cita de Healing After Emotional Abuse: A Man's Guide to Mental Repair

    “

    The 'broken' feeling isn't a permanent state; it’s actually a survival response that’s just stayed turned on for too long. You aren't 'weak' for having a racing heart; your nervous system is just using a map from a place you don’t live anymore.

    ”
