Healing Childhood Trauma: Finding Support in Buckinghamshire | Bucks Family Network

Finding Sweetness in a Watchful World

She moves through the garden barefoot, hair unkempt, as if the world beyond this space does not exist. There is a quiet desperation in the way she watches the hummingbird, its tiny body darting from flower to flower, relentless in its search for sweetness, for something to sustain it.

The hibiscus blooms are open, offering their vibrant reds, pinks, and yellows freely. She has always loved them—the way they stand bold against the green, unafraid to be seen. The hummingbird, ever present, drinks deeply, its movements instinctive, urgent. She wonders how sweet that nectar must be.

Reaching out, she takes a flower in her small hands. Unlike the hummingbird, she is not delicate, but she, too, is searching. She pulls apart the centre, presses it to her lips, and tastes. It is sweet—unexpectedly so—like honey, like something offered without condition. It brings a rare smile to her face, a brief moment of warmth in a world that has so often been cold.

As she lays back, the last of the afternoon sun touches her skin. For a little while, the ever-present weight, the watchfulness she has carried for as long as she can remember, eases. The hypervigilance that once kept her safe is momentarily quiet.

Here, in this moment, she is unseen, but she is not alone. The garden holds her, just as it always has.

Understanding Childhood Trauma

For many who have experienced childhood trauma, moments of peace can feel unfamiliar, even fleeting. Trauma shapes the nervous system, often leading to hypervigilance—always scanning for danger, always waiting for something to go wrong.
