Summary
Crowley's trauma stubbornly refused to believe such a thing as safety was true; PTSD was the body getting stuck in the past, acting as if the danger was still present. He panicked, and had nightmares, and sat in chairs so his back was to the wall, because some instinctual part of his neural circuitry was screaming at him that you’re still vulnerable, you’re still not safe, they’ll come to violate you at any minute, protect yourself, protect yourself, PROTECT YOURSELF.
But now, for the first time in a long, long while…that part of his brain was finally, blessedly, quiet. He didn’t need to protect himself. There was no danger, no imminent threat. He was safe. He was safe.
