Healing isn't just about the hard work of processing trauma. It is equally about the soft work of remembering what brings you joy.

Whether it’s: ✈ A weekend trip to change your perspective. 🫂 Laughter with family and friends that heals the nervous system. ☕ Solitude to hear your own thoughts again.

These aren't distractions. They are anchors. You are refueling the tank so you can keep going.

Have a lovely, restorative weekend.

Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking, "Why did I say that? Why did I try to fix it? Why couldn't I just listen?"

It’s easy to beat yourself up, but let’s look at this through the lens of trauma:
Other people's pain is a high-intensity stimulus.

If you grew up in an environment where big emotions were dangerous, chaotic, or ignored, your nervous system doesn't know how to just "sit" with pain. It wants to:

Fix it (to stop the helplessness).

Paint over it (to stop the negativity).

Run from it (to avoid doing it wrong).

This isn't because you are a bad friend. It's because you are a triggered friend.

Realizing this is the first step to changing it. Next time, when you feel the urge to offer a solution or a "bright side," pause. That’s your trauma talking.

Take a breath, ground yourself, and try the advanced move: Just witnessing.

We often save our gratitude for the things around us—the food, the family, the roof over our heads. But today, I want you to turn that gratitude inward.

The most powerful thing you have harvested this year is your own healing.

Thank the version of you that kept going when the nervous system was stuck in "freeze." Thank the anxiety that was just trying to keep you safe in a chaotic world. Thank the body that continued to breathe, digest, and beat for you, even when your mind was at war.

Healing is quiet work. It’s the invisible labor of setting boundaries, breaking cycles, and learning to feel safe in your own skin again. It is the hardest work you will ever do, and look at you—you are doing it.

This Thanksgiving, let’s honor the power of your resilience. You are the ancestor of your future healing.

Thank you for staying. Thank you for trying. Thank you for healing. 🍂

There is a specific kind of grief that comes when you realize your "healing journey" is making you feel lonely. You might find that you can no longer tolerate the gossip, the draining venting sessions, or the chaotic nights out that used to bond your friend group.

This is hard. But it is also a sign of profound growth.

When you start regulating your nervous system, you stop bonding over shared trauma and start looking for shared peace.
If your friends struggle to relate to you now, it’s often because they are trying to connect with a version of you that no longer exists.

18/11/2025

Boundaries aren't about keeping others out. They're about inviting your peace in.

The number one tool for calming an overactive nervous system is the ability to reliably protect your time, energy, and emotional space.

When you don't set boundaries, your system has to stay on a 24/7 hypervigilance alert, constantly anticipating when the next request, drain, or overwhelming piece of information will hit. This is exhausting!

15/11/2025

Your environment is not neutral. It is actively co-regulating with you, either sending signals of safety and rest or signals of threat and urgency.

Think of it this way: You can do all the deep breathing in the world, but if you're in a toxic and harsh environment, your nervous system is getting a constant, conflicting memo: "Danger! Be on guard!"

Healing requires a space that confirms your safety.

11/11/2025

Most confusing behaviours in relationships stem from the inner child's desperate quest for affirmation—a deep need for undeniable proof that the safety of this relationship is real.

But confirmation (validation, proof, certainty) is a closed loop, often leading to more testing and instability.

Connection is an open loop. It's built on mutual vulnerability and acceptance, even when the data is imperfect.

The path to secure love starts when we stop using our partners to satisfy our need for proof and start letting them simply connect with us. This is where your inner work becomes outer peace.

Ready to shift from testing to trusting?

08/11/2025

Safety is not a thought; it is a physiological state. Use the tools of sensation, breath, and movement to send a direct memo to your system: The danger is over.

03/11/2025

This is the core of somatic work.

The tightness in your chest, the knot in your stomach, the tension in your jaw—that isn't just random stress. It is a memory waiting to be acknowledged.

When your mind doesn't have the words for an old hurt, your body holds the message.

Practice: Instead of trying to fix the feeling, pause and simply ask: "What is my body trying to tell me about my safety right now?"

Listen to the language of your nervous system. That connection is your greatest tool for healing. 🤍

By facing your fears and triggers, you're not only healing but also growing into a stronger, more resilient version of yourself.

This Halloween season, let's challenge ourselves to confront those triggers that seem to have a chokehold on us and scare us from enjoying life to the fullest or experiencing life without the constant anxiety.

It's time to take your healing journey seriously and emerge stronger on the other side. You are capable of facing your fears and living a more authentic life. 💪
