There is a lot in the news right now about power, silence, and harm.
For many of us, even if we are not directly involved, the coverage doesn’t land lightly. It stirs anger, grief, disbelief, old memories, or a sense of unease or discomfort in the body.
That response isn’t fragility. It’s recognition.
We don’t have to minimise what comes up. And we don’t have to process it loudly either. But steadying ourselves matters.
When we regulate our own nervous systems, we are better able to cope, to care for those around us, and to speak up clearly when it’s needed.
Steadiness is not silence. It’s strength.
