Fearful, Guarded, Angry, Darting: What Trauma Eyes Look Like #ShortsAdded:
Some have eyes that reveal the state of their nervous system in every glance.
Fearful eyes, guarded eyes, angry eyes, darting eyes, squinting eyes, bug eyes, predatory eyes. All of them are messages. All of them are survival.
Research confirms that the eyes of an adult who has gone through trauma reveal how safe they feel and how connected they feel. If they do not feel safe, their eyes will show it. If they do not feel connected, their eyes will show it.
This is not a choice.
