This is a tool that categorizes body-based practices to help you find safety in yourself during times of overwhelm. Safety starts in the body, not the mind. Somatics is powerful way to approach the healing process.

We live in a world that praises us for the ability to run like a well-oiled machine. How many of us have listened to coworkers, classmates, and even ourselves pride over the fact that we can do so much with so little rest?

It’s a common misbelief that we can function perfectly without good sleep, but this chronic lack of rest has many consequences.

Maybe you feel fine. That’s great! But be curious and ask yourself - How would it feel if you TRULY slept for 7-9 hours? Consistently. Have you even gotten the chance?
How would you know?

We have very busy lives. We can’t always dedicate ourselves to the perfect sleep schedule, but it’s important to prioritize it when you can.

Drug overdose remains the leading cause of accidental death in the United States. Black Balloon Day is a day we raise awareness and support those impacted by substance use disorder.

Trauma has a powerful, long-lasting impact. Unaddressed, it is strongly linked to the development of addictions to cope with ongoing suffering.

There is always more than meets the eye when looking at someone’s story of addiction.

If you are grieving or struggling, you are not alone. You or the person you’ve lost are not just a number in a statistic. Grief creates a ripple in our homes and communities. Your stories are important, and they deserve to be told and shared.

The brain and body doesn’t register adoption as a single event in childhood. As adoptees grow older, layers of adoption trauma can surface. An adoptee may experience:

- Questioning of their identity & belonging
- Unexpected reoccurring grief
- Sensitivity around friendships, relationships, and parenthood
- Attachment problems, low self-esteem
- Hypervigiliance

It’s important to note that these effects can happen no matter what age someone is adopted, even if they were a very young child and have no memory of the process.

Adoptees don’t just “get older and get over” it. Time can actually make adoption’s impact more clear.

What can help is community with other adoptees, therapy that understands adoption trauma, and feeling safe and attuned to by loved ones.

These tools don’t help the adoptee to “grow out” of adoption, but to grow within that aspect of their identity.

It’s National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

The drivers of disordered eating are more complex than external messaging about body image or health. Research shows trauma is common in EDs: sexual trauma, abuse, neglect, instability, and bullying are all linked to eating disorders.

The origins of eating disorders are complex and well-debated. But overall, trauma plays a significant role.

Trauma dysregulates the nervous system, making emotions overwhelming and difficult. Methods of disordered eating behavior, including both under and overeating, often emerge as attempts to self-soothe or subdue these difficult emotions.

These disorders can develop and remain long after the traumatic experience because the repetitive behaviors rewire the nervous system. It becomes self harm disguised to the body as familiarity and safety.

But recovery isn’t just behavioral. It often requires:
- Medical intervention
- Addressing trauma or co-occurring issues
- Working with the nervous system
- Developing alternative emotional tools
- Building a safe, supportive environment
- Finding ways to make the body feel safe and comfortable
- Addressing survival patterns rooted in earlier experiences

Traumatic memories hijack the present.

When someone is triggered into a flashback, the emotions-centered amygdala overactivates. This triggers an intense, involuntary response. Simultaneously, the hippocampus, key in memory processing, is suppressed or damaged, failing to differentiate the past from present safety. The traumatic memory is experienced as a trauma in real time.

This is why many feel stuck in their memories and traumatic experiences. Work like EMDR or somatic therapies help the body and brain distinguish the past and present, helping us to feel more grounded and safe.

“How do you survive whole in a world where we’re all victims of something?” This was the question posed to Toni Morrison in a conversation with Frank McCourt and moderator Juan Williams, as a part of The Connecticut Forum. May 2001.

From here, she continues:

“Good is more interesting, complex, and demanding.

Evil is silly. It is horrible, not a compelling idea. It’s predictable - it needs a tuxedo, it needs a headline, it needs blood and fingernails, it needs all that costume in order to get anybody’s attention.

But the opposite - which is survival, blossoming, endurance — those things are more compelling intellectually and spiritually. It’s a more fascinating job.”

More facts:

6. People who commit acts of sexual abuse, harassment, and assault often target people who have less power in society.

7. Sexual violence is ANY type of unwanted sexual contact. This includes words and actions of a sexual nature against a person’s will and without their consent. A person may use force, threats, manipulation, or coercion to commit sexual violence.

8. Most sexual assaults are not reported to police. Most often, survivors disclose to friends, family, and other trusted individuals rather than reporting to law enforcement. The legal system often fails to find justice for survivors and the process can be retraumatizing.

10. Preventing sexual violence requires promoting consent, changing social norms, active bystander intervention, and strengthening protective environments.

The physical and mental symptoms we experience aren’t just sensations to eliminate, they carry an underlying message.

Dr. Pat Ogden, somatic psychologist, says it’s important to view physical sensations, involuntary movements, postures, and gestures not merely as pathology, but as functional responses designed for survival or self-protection.

These responses are our body’s wisdom, and tuning into them can provide a great deal of insight about our lives.
