When does love turn into self-erasure? 
 
Cristina Yang almost gave herself away. 
 
In Grey’s Anatomy, we watch her shrink for Preston Burke — bending, twisting, and almost erasing herself to fit the role of “good wife.”
 
He wanted the wedding. He wanted the rules. He wanted her small.
 
But when it all collapsed? Cristina’s body told the truth. The relief of not walking down that aisle wasn’t heartbreak. It was liberation. 💥
 
This episode of the Feral Podcast dives deep into: Cristina Yang’s almost-wedding and the cost of self-erasure Why “love” often looks like labor for Dangerous Women
 
How CPTSD isn’t about going “back to normal” — it’s about becoming who you were never allowed to be Real-time nervous system regulation practices to cut the leash and reclaim your power
 
Why the matriarchy rising looks collaborative, communal, creative — for Dangerous Women (and the men who love them)
 
🌿 If you’re a Dangerous Woman — late-diagnosed ADHD, first-born daughter, survivor of high-control religion or a narcissistic family dynamic — you are not alone. Your perception is extraordinary.
