December 9 – The Trembling Hand

THIS DECEMBER, LOOK BEYOND THE LIGHTS.

From December 8th to 24th, 2025, we will take you where no one wants to look: behind closed doors, beyond the forced smiles, into the beating heart of human relationships.

17 Days. 17 Stories. A single common thread.

Forget Christmas fairytales. We will tell you the reality: the tension rising on Christmas Eve, the C-PTSD hiding behind a gift, the emotional dysregulation that turns a toast into a nightmare. But we will also tell you about hope.

Every day a story, every story a scientific truth. You will discover how the ASVS protocol, trauma measurement, and Biofeedback can rewrite an ending that seemed already written.

These are not just stories. They are mirrors in which to recognize oneself and tools to save oneself.

The appointment is on December 8th. Get ready to change your vision of Christmas.

AIPC & CIPR – On the side of science, on the side of people.

Chiara is sitting in the kitchen, surrounded by the glittering chaos of red ribbons, gold paper, and the scent of ginger. She is writing greeting cards for his relatives, a task she performs every year. The handwriting should be fluid, elegant, festive; instead, the pen slides in jerks, carving into the paper, and her hand trembles uncontrollably, as if an electric current of low voltage were running through it.

Her husband is in the next room. He isn’t screaming, he isn’t breaking anything. It is his silence that terrifies her more than anything else. It is that heavy, rhythmic way of walking that makes her blood run cold. Chiara lives in a state of chronic C-PTSD, even if she doesn't know this acronym: her body is perpetually on high alert, muscles tensed, breath short, ready to dodge a blow that might never come, or come in a second.

Her gaze falls on the local news open on the table: "Tragedy of jealousy," "Sudden fit of madness in the family." She closes her eyes and shakes her head in anger. She knows there is no such thing as a "raptus." She knows that violence is not a bolt from the blue, but a slow erosion of the soul, a capillary control over how you dress, who you call, how much you spend. She knows the correct word is something else, and she knows that if she doesn't intervene now, that trembling will become her only company for the holidays, until the silence is broken once and for all.

DON'T CALL IT LOVE. Psychological and physical violence has a name and a solution. Contact the professionals at CIPR.
