🤰When your earliest environment didn’t feel safe, your psyche often orients toward the non-physical for coherence.

The body feels foreign, the world feels loud, and “home” becomes an energetic, imaginal, or spiritual place instead of an earthly one.

⚡From a nervous-system perspective, the vagus nerve learns to hover in dorsal withdrawal — the “float away, disappear, go elsewhere” state.

The body becomes a temporary address, not a home. Dissociation can feel like transcendent insight.

🌟From a spiritual perspective, you may feel guided, intuitive, or connected to realms that feel more familiar than your own family.

You may sense purpose before you sense safety.

You may seek belonging in energy, meaning, or the unseen. 💫

The work isn’t to give up the spiritual gifts — intuition, sensitivity, connection to subtle realms.

The work is to let your body become a place where those gifts can actually land. To teach it that it's safe enough to stay here. 🩵

👉No matter how many questions we ask, there is never enough information for the mind in the early stages of developmental trauma work.

With time, though, there is more and more capacity for "I don't know" as we begin to trust ourselves with unexpected sensations, emotions, movement impulses and thoughts 💫.

Something that used to tip us over, no longer does.

Something that used to feel bigger than us, no longer does.

Then come the confusion and disorganization.

Then, the new experience to orient towards.

Then, we check if "why" and "I don't know" feel the same as before↔️.

If you feel as though you’ve “hit a wall” with cognitive approaches to therapy 🧠,

Perhaps it’s worth journeying through the layers of experience your body may be holding on to 🤗.

👉People-pleasing, hypervigilance, the emotional flash floods.

Healing isn’t linear, it’s tidal🌊.

🌪️Some days, the waves knock us over.

🌅Other days, the ocean’s calm, the sky’s wide open, and we're here, still becoming, one regulated breath at a time.

Learning that the body can unclench.

That joy doesn’t always have to be earned.🤗

Somehow, we trust this “life force energy” when it’s on display in nature, but not in ourselves…

💡As though we believed we were not part of nature. As though our bodies’ intelligence were irrelevant.

What opportunities and experiences might we open ourselves up to in the year to come, if we begin to trust that we are part of nature?

Wishing you a year ahead filled with connection, presence and joy that doesn’t need to be“earned”🤗.

The healing journey is not about giving less,

But about giving from a place free of panic and perfectionism.

Can you relate to giving from a deep desire to feel safe, seen, accepted and loved? 🩵

💡The good child often ends up being the anxious adult not because they were good — but because they had to be.

The quiet one.

The helper.

The easy kid who never caused trouble.

Polyvagal language would say that they learned to survive by staying in a fawned, socially compliant state — keeping everyone regulated so their own nervous system wouldn’t tip into danger.

As adults, that same survival code shows up as:

🔸Overthinking

🔸People-pleasing

🔸Hyper-responsibility

🔸Panic when someone is disappointed

🔸Chronic self-doubt

They weren’t “mature for their age.”

They were managing the emotional temperature of the room.

The “good child” didn’t grow into an anxious adult because they failed.

They grew into one because they adapted — and nobody ever taught their body it could stop. 🩵

What does “regulation” actually mean?

Regulation doesn’t mean calm.

It means:

👉Flexible activation (your system can “rev up” when necessary, without getting stuck there).

👉Efficient mobilization (you can access energy, emotion, or action when needed, without burning out or collapsing).

👉Reliable return to baseline (after stress or intensity, your body knows how to come back to steadiness).

Flat is not regulated.

Hyper is not regulated.

Responsive is.

From a somatic perspective, regulation is not about suppressing emotion or striving for a state of constant peace.

It’s about adaptability — the nervous system’s ability to meet life as it is, respond appropriately, and recover without getting trapped in survival states💫.

🍽️Family dinners don’t trigger you because you’re immature.

They trigger you because your nervous system remembers being small 👇.

One reason developmental trauma survivors struggle with small talk is that in many families, superficial conversation wasn’t harmless — it was the official strategy for avoiding anything painful, real, or confusing.

👉When hurt is never named, when tension hums under the surface, and everyone talks about the weather instead of what’s actually happening, the nervous system learns fast that:

Small talk equals emotional avoidance 🙅‍♀️

Depth is danger ⚠️

Authenticity is too much for others 🚫

So later in life, small talk feels hollow, draining, or even irritating.

🔍The system is looking for what was once missing — truth, nuance, emotional presence.

It’s not that we're “bad at small talk.”

💡It’s that our bodies remember the cost of pretending everything was fine.

You don't fix the nervous system, you sit with it.

🎄Even during Christmas dinner, presence works better than pretending everything is fine. 🩵

Wishing you a rest-filled, present Christmas Eve 🤗.

✈️On my recent flight to Cancun for the holidays with my kids, I couldn’t help but notice that no one just sits with themselves anymore.

There is so much activation that we do not consciously engage with:

Restless legs.

Darting, unfocused eyes.

Eating out of three bags of snacks at the same time.

Screens brought within eyelash-touching distance.

Lots of scratching and fidgeting.

Collapsed postures, abandoned chests and spines, limpness.

No judgement here, but I do wonder-

“What might happen if we had more presence in measurable ways”?

Safe travels. 🩵

💡Are you present enough to notice what your body is communicating?

🩵Thankful for the courage of clients who are willing to walk the path less travelled - especially after feeling as though they were out of options.

👉If you're curious about the “uncanny ability” Luc referenced in his testimonial - I shared more about this aspect of my work in my recent carousel series: “Prenatal Trauma & Psychic Abilities”. 🩵

👉Betrayal trauma is one of the greatest triggers for dissociative responses.

A surrender of one's will and a loss of the "sense of self.”

💡Therapeutically, the way back to the sense of self is through reclaiming one's voice, through reclaiming one's anger.

If you can relate, I invite you to follow along as we explore how healing is possible through the body 🩵.
