🥀 The loss of someone we love can shake the very foundation of our sense of safety and belonging. When a person who has been a source of comfort, stability, or identity is gone, the world can suddenly feel unfamiliar and unsteady. Even when grief unfolds naturally, it can deeply affect how we see ourselves and how we move through daily life. For many, it brings waves of sadness, confusion, or even moments of numbness as the heart begins to navigate this new landscape.
When loss occurs under traumatic circumstances — whether sudden, violent, or marked by distressing memories — the grief process can become even more complex. The body and mind may hold on to the pain, replaying moments that feel impossible to release. In these cases, somatic connection becomes essential — helping the body feel safe enough to process what the mind cannot yet make sense of.
If you or someone you know is struggling with grief, please share this post: therootedheart.ca/blog/when-grief-meets-trauma-finding-meaning-presence-and-healing
It also has recommendations for several books on Grief, Meaning, and Healing.

⭐️ Authenticity and attachment often live in tension with one another. Authenticity invites us to live in alignment with our inner truth—our needs, limits, and emotions—while attachment pulls us toward connection, belonging, and approval.

😬 Struggle with setting boundaries?
Try this 3-part reframe:
🙏Self-trust, say “This is what I need.”
🙏Autonomy, say “I don’t need permission to need it.”
🙏Freedom, say “How they respond is about them.”

💛Boundaries aren’t walls. They’re the foundation of your healing.

3 signs your nervous system might be dysregulated (and not just “stressed out”):
❗ You feel wired, but tired.
❗ You can’t rest, even when you’re exhausted.
❗ You swing between numbing out and emotional overwhelm.
Regulation isn’t about “calming down” — it’s about helping your system feel safe enough to soften.

👁 Somatic EMDR is a powerful tool for Nervous System Regulation... What Is Somatic EMDR?
Somatic EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) combines traditional EMDR therapy with somatic (body-based) awareness. It brings attention to what the body is experiencing in the moment—whether that’s a tight chest, a sense of numbness, or an inner knowing that something feels off. Rather than moving through trauma only through memory or thought, Somatic EMDR invites the body into the conversation.
