Haunted by What is to Come

It’s Friday the 13th. The lake is quiet, but something stirs beneath the surface. You’re in love — or maybe you think you are. But your body knows what your heart won’t admit: something’s wrong. In this episode of The Grit Files, we’re stepping into the haunted house of intimacy to ask a question most people are too afraid to name — What if love isn’t enough? We’ll explore how trauma distorts connection, why safety matters more than chemistry, and how even the best intentions can retraumatize when repair is missing. This isn’t a ghost story — it’s a nervous system story. And tonight, we’re lighting a lantern in the dark. Because healing doesn’t come from passion. It comes from naming the pattern, not just the pain.
