I love how Inner Glow Therapy simplifies trauma and its effects. It is not your fault, it was never your fault 🩷

Trauma is not just a memory; it’s a physiological injury that leaves a lasting imprint. When we experience traumatic events, our brain’s intricate structures are altered, often leading us to get stuck in a perpetual state of danger mode.

🧠 The Amygdala, also known as the fear center, goes haywire, incessantly sounding the alarm. Stress hormones flood our bodies, wreaking havoc & impacting the size & function of both the Amygdala & the Hippocampus.

🧠 The Hippocampus, responsible for memory, becomes overwhelmed during trauma, making it challenging to stamp memories with the right timeline. As a result, past memories can feel distressingly vivid in our day-to-day lives, easily triggering us as if the past were still the present.

🧠 The Prefrontal Cortex, in charge of rationalising & decision-making, is frequently overridden by the overactive Amygdala. As a consequence, we may find it difficult to manage emotions & make rational choices.

These responses occur beneath the level of conscious awareness, in our survival brain. Anxiousness, triggers, or shutdowns aren’t voluntary decisions; they happen automatically & instantly. If something reminds us of a past trauma, our physiology drives us into fight, flight or freeze.

You can develop the resources to manage these survival responses & cope with your brain on by getting to know your nervous system & support it through regulation skills & resourcing!

I teach you about your nervous system on my free webinar.

Just say REGULATE & I’ll send you it!

Today can be a difficult day for some people for all kinds of reasons. If you are one of those people, I see you. Know that you are still loved 🥰

Mother. One word, a myriad meanings…

To mother is not just to create life, it is to sustain life, to save life, to enrich life, to nurture life, to protect and shelter that life. It is complicated, eternal, instinctive and ancient.

Not all mothers are mothers and that statement works both ways.
Some mothers are unable to nurture the child they have for many heartbreaking reasons and some mothers would love nothing more than to have this child they so long for. So they walk through this life nurturing and sharing that motherly love with whomever needs it. They are mothers without children of their own. But mothers they very much are.

If you are a mother in the traditional sense today, be loved. You are someone’s whole world, what a thing.

If you are without your own mother today, be loved. Just as she spent her entire life hoping you would. She lived for your happiness, let her see it if you can.

If you are a mother without children today, be loved. You deserve this more than we know and we see your brave heart opening still to let in those who need.

If you are someone who chose to love another’s child today, be loved. This world exists more beautifully because of your selfless and boundless light.

If you have never known a mother’s love, be the start of it, make it anew. And show the world what it should look like. The legacy you leave will change history.

Find a way today, if you can, to celebrate ‘creation’.
To celebrate your existence, to celebrate love itself.

Mother, one word, a myriad meanings…
complicated, eternal, primal, and without us, there would be nothing.
