In February I asked the universe for time and space to focus on my business, and to call in my ideal clients - people seeking body work as part of a wholistic approach to healing from trauma.
She gave me the space I asked for, and she gave me new clients seeking massage as part of their treatment plan for complex trauma. However this gift came with lessons in the form of an experiential reminder of what it feels like to carry trauma in my body.
She reminded me that my trauma, and I believe all trauma, is complex. This past month I have experienced my trauma differently. I have noticed it activate in my body, while I have remained emotionally and mentally grounded. I have observed as my trauma has remained activated for prolonged periods and noticed it spread with time creating discord which was experienced physically, emotionally and mentally.
I felt consistently unsafe in my body, and eventually I started telling myself I was unsafe. The trauma could not be compartmentalised by my mind, and I feel that it should not be.
It’s been a big and challenging learning. And a beautiful reminder that the universe is always conspiring in unexpected ways to offer us the teachings we need, and to deliver us our hearts desires.
