I used to think trauma was only about huge, life-altering events. But then I realized—trauma can also be the little things that add up over time. The moments I felt unheard, the times I had to be strong when I was breaking inside, the way my body tensed up even when nothing was wrong. It wasn't just in my mind—my body carried it too.

It showed up in my anxiety, my overthinking, my constant need to prove myself. I thought I had ‘moved on,’ but my nervous system told a different story. It wasn’t until I started therapy that I understood—trauma isn’t just about what happened. It’s about how it stayed with me. And now, I’m finally learning how to let it go.

Healing starts with understanding. If this resonates, you're not alone. We’re here to help. 💛

💤 Why Racing Thoughts Impact Sleep
When your mind won’t stop racing at night, it can lead to trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. This can happen due to:

Anxiety or stress: Overthinking the day’s events or worrying about tomorrow.
Unresolved emotions: Suppressed feelings surfacing when you try to relax.
Mental overload: Too much stimulation or information processing throughout the day.
✨ Tip: To calm racing thoughts before bed, try deep breathing exercises, journaling, or creating a bedtime routine that relaxes your mind.
