					<description><![CDATA[Pleasure is not only a reward we earn after every danger and duty has disappeared. It is part of how the body recognizes aliveness, connection, beauty, relief, and nourishment. Yet pleasure requires attention. When the primitive brain is scanning for threat, the senses narrow toward survival. A massage can feel like pressure rather than delicious [&#8230;]]]></description>

If relying on people once brought disappointment, control, humiliation, or abandonment, we may organize life around never needing anyone. We prepare, save, work, carry, and solve. The capability is real. So is the fear underneath it. Then illness, injury, grief, financial strain, or simple human limits [&#8230;]]]></description>

Sometimes the system is recalibrating after grief, caregiving, intense contact, visibility, sensory load, or a major transition. The distinction is not whether rest looks impressive.
