Words of gold.

We now have evidence through brain scans that trauma changed the brain physically.

The trauma brain becomes a filter through which we see ourselves, our experiences + the world in general.

The world becomes a place we can’t trust. People become dangerous + unsafe. And, of course, we can’t ourselves. In order to her self trust, one must be connected to self.

Trauma alters that connection.

All the mind does is seek to survive.

This defensive way is existing feels like a personal attack on the body. Because it is.

Healing from trauma is a journey.

For me, trauma manifested as severe dissociation. I have no memories or childhood. I barely have any memories of my 20s.

Healing involves facing the reality that trauma occurred while also understanding trauma is an event we carry. It’s not who we are. It’s an experience. And experiences can’t be integrated + unlearned.

I dedicated the past several years to finding safety in my body through 2 modalities that changed my life: breathwork + meditation. I used journaling as a pathway to more + more conscious awareness as I practiced where it matters most: in life. A moment here. A moment there. As new neural pathways were created. Ego resistance was brutal, but I (mostly) always showed up anyway. I consistently practiced new emotional states that were so unfamiliar: joy, peace, + freedom. Nature, silence, + stillness started speaking for the first time in my life.

I still have moments of major overwhelm. I still struggle with what emotion I’m feeling (anxiety + excitement confuse me.) Yet, I’m seeing this work radically shift me. And my relationships. And my life.
