Today SOMA’s owner, Adele, had the honor of serving as a mental health advocate on the campus of ODU following the tragic shooting on the 12th. For staff and students this was their first day back following the event and time off for spring break. Adele provided psychological first aid and connected students and faculty to counseling and campus resources.

We are grateful for the opportunity to come alongside our neighbors and serve this amazing ODU Monarch community. The efforts in places by their response team are admirable.

The heavy weight and burden these professors feel to suddenly become trauma-informed facilitators while processing their own impact is heavy! These students are also carrying such a burden and facing complex realities of their own healing journey. Thank you to ODU’s Office of Emergency Management and the Office of Counseling Services for putting together an incredible response team and letting us professionals from the community support you all!

In all honesty, we wish this wasn’t part of our job. As grateful and ready to rally as we are for our community, we do wish our campuses and schools were kept safer by stricter gun laws. So although we hold deep space today for the pain and the healing…we cannot ignore the deep experienced indignation of policies that make this type of hurt far too prevalent.
There is no normal when it comes to the trauma healing process but this certainly should not be our new normal.

Why use somatic resources just because? …To enhance the positive association, confidence, and trust within your system that it’s accessible and reliable ✨ Build trust with the resource or an old trustee will likely hop in the driver’s seat and where you end up isn’t always where you wanted to go🥴 We know, it’s super hard! We are here to help! 💞

Melanie is a somatic and parts work oriented marriage and family therapist at SOMA. She strives to bring couples and individuals into new experiences that help them feel better - not just think differently.
Below are 3 of her favorite book recommendations for couples!

“Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work” by Gottman takes a top-down approach starting with casual, low-risk questions and gradually guiding readers into deeper conversations.

“Hold Me Tight” by Johnson takes a bottom-up approach that focuses on attachment and emotions from cover to cover. It can be very impactful but also intense. This book is great for couples ready to dive deep into self-reflection and sharing at a deep emotional level.

“Eight Dates: Essential Conversations for a Lifetime of Love” by Gottman et. al is a middle-of-the-road option. Like Gottman’s other book, it provides specific topics and questions to guide couples into deep and meaningful conversations. However, rather than starting at surface level, the conversation guidelines prompt reflection and deeper sharing from the start.

We learn the embodied experience of self regulation through mirror neurons in the brain and somatic implicit memory (aka how it feels in the body). These are some simple tips for when intentionally engaging in co-regulation between caregiver and child.
