Rage isn’t the opposite of healing — it’s often the doorway into it.

It appears when the nervous system finally has enough safety to feel what was once unbearable.
The body begins to recognise injustice, violation, or unmet needs that were never named.

This isn’t regression.
It’s reclamation.
It’s your system remembering that you deserved protection, care, and truth.

The aim isn’t to get rid of rage, but to understand its language —
to listen to what it’s been holding on to for you.

Trauma attaches to the developmental age in which the trauma occurred. Please check out the past reel on ages 0-6 yrs old. 💛

This reel highlights the important areas in our child development where we begin to differentiate ourselves from our primary attachments and towards our sense of belonging amongst peers and the perception of other adults.

Core developmental trauma wounds from this is stage of childhood evolution may result in feelings of incompetence, unworthiness, not belonging, and the need to control the perception of self.

Healing isn’t about how much you know.
It’s about how much you can feel safely.
That’s the part most healing spaces miss.

We praise independence, but it’s costing us connection.

Somewhere along the way, we confused isolation with strength.
We built a culture that rewards self-sufficiency
and shames the very thing that keeps us alive — dependency.

Our nervous systems were never designed to do life alone.
They regulate through closeness, co-regulation, and care.
Dependency isn’t dysfunction.
It’s the biology of belonging.

Healing relational trauma means remembering
that needing one another isn’t the problem.
It’s the point.

If you’re learning how to feel safe in connection again,
my 1:1 sessions and online classes can support that process —

🔥 People love talking about “healing” until the rage arrives.

The rage that says:
“I should never have had to survive that.”
“I deserved safety, care, protection — and I didn’t get it.”
“And now I’m the one cleaning up the damage.”

That isn’t negativity.
That isn’t bitterness.
That is clarity.

If you’re angry, it means the truth is finally safe to feel.

If this lands in your body and you want support to process what’s surfacing, I offer 1:1 online sessions for this work. 🌿

Healing begins when someone finally meets you — not to fix, but to feel you.
That’s what trauma-informed therapy offers:
a relationship that follows your pace, listens beyond words, and attunes to your nervous system’s truth.

This is the foundation of my 1:1 work — body-based, relational, and grounded in complex trauma expertise.

Your reaction in those moments isn’t “too much”.

When you understand what’s happening in your brain and body, it becomes easier to meet the trigger with awareness rather than feeling consumed by it.

If you want to learn how to work with triggers with more regulation and safety, explore my online course “How to Manage Your Emotions”, or reach out for 1:1 support if you want deeper individualised work.

So many people assume body image struggles are about confidence, discipline, or “learning to love yourself.”

For many, it began long before the mirror — in environments where it didn’t feel emotionally safe to be seen, accepted, or themselves.

The body often becomes the place where early relational wounds land. Focusing on perceived imperfections can be a way the nervous system copes with pain that once felt too overwhelming to hold.

This is why lasting change isn’t just about changing thoughts. It’s about gently tending to the experiences that shaped how safe it feels to be in your body at all.

If this resonates, and you’d like trauma-informed support with this work, you’re welcome to explore 1:1 sessions with me (link in bio).
