It can feel confusing when things seem to get harder just as we begin therapy or personal development. Increased triggers don’t always mean something is going wrong; often, they reflect increased awareness. As insight grows, the nervous system becomes more attuned to patterns, dynamics, and emotional undercurrents that were previously tolerated, minimised, or dissociated from. What once passed unnoticed may now register as activating. This isn’t regression, but a sign that the system is no longer bypassing discomfort to maintain connection or safety. Healing often involves a period where old dynamics feel louder before new boundaries, capacity, and choice are fully established.

Long before the term “post-traumatic stress” entered modern medicine, many African communities had an intuitive understanding of the invisible wounds of war. A returning warrior was not immediately welcomed back into daily life. Instead, he entered a sacred period of transition—often lasting three lunar cycles—under the guidance of a spiritual healer or shaman. This was not punishment or exile; it was a ritual of healing, an acknowledgment that violence fractures more than the body—it disrupts the spirit.

The belief was that the warrior carried a chaotic energy, a spiritual imbalance that could harm both himself and his community if left unaddressed. One of the oldest healing practices involved placing animal horns on the skin to draw out “stagnant blood”—a technique later misnamed “African cupping” by colonizers. It was more than medicine: it was ceremony. It released not just physical toxins, but the unspoken pain, the emotional residue of violence.

Today, we call it trauma. They called it spiritual imbalance. In our clinical, pill-driven world, we often treat only symptoms. But these ancestral practices remind us that true healing restores harmony—within the self, and between the self and the world. Perhaps in our rush to advance, we’ve overlooked the power of ritual, of community, of soul-level care. Perhaps it’s time to remember.

I also apply ear seeds so the acupuncture points on the ear can remain stimulated between sessions. These are great for activating the vagus nerve and the parasympathetic nervous system promoting relaxation and balance.
