Why do I feel broken?
Feeling broken is rarely about being broken. It's usually about carrying experiences that were never witnessed or understood.
The word 'broken' often arrives when something inside has been holding too much for too long. It is not evidence of damage. It is evidence of weight.
Many men describe this feeling as a low background hum, a sense that something is wrong with them rather than something happened to them. The distinction matters. One closes the door. The other opens it.
Trauma-informed work doesn't try to talk you out of how you feel. It helps you understand where the feeling came from, and what it has been protecting.
