Join NAMI Indiana in advocating for policies that prioritize mental health in criminal justice. www.nami.org/overlooked

“Healing Trauma: A Process of the Whole Body, Not Just the Mind

Trauma isn’t just an event that happened in the past—it’s something living in the present, an experience held in the body. It’s an assault on the nervous system’s ability to respond, a frozen process that couldn’t complete itself in the moment. This is why traditional talk therapy, while helpful in understanding our story, often isn’t enough on its own. Talking can offer relief, but it doesn’t always reach the deeper places where trauma lives—beneath words, in the body’s sensations, in what wasn’t fully processed.

True healing happens when we engage the whole body. Somatic practices like Focusing, IFS, and EFT invite us to meet those frozen places gently and allow the process that got interrupted to continue. It’s about listening—not to fix, but to sense how the body wants to move forward, how it can release what’s stuck, and how it can naturally come back into flow.

When we do this, something profound can happen. The stuck, frozen places start to shift. They don’t disappear, but they become integrated. We move from the rigidity of PTSD toward something new—what’s often called post-traumatic growth. The very places that once held pain become openings for strength, resilience, and deeper connection with life.

Healing isn’t about forcing ourselves into feeling better. It’s about making space for what’s here, allowing the body’s natural wisdom to unfold, and trusting that there is always more—a next step, a way forward, waiting quietly within.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a story you can’t change, know that healing isn’t just about rewriting the story. It’s about listening to the body’s quiet knowing and letting it complete what it couldn’t before. This is how we come back to ourselves—not just as we were, but as something deeper and more whole than before.

The body knows the way. All we have to do is slow down, listen, and allow.”

UPDATE: TMZ has tracked the jet registered to P Diddy, which has been confirmed to be downed on a Carribbean Island and is currently grounded. Diddy’s current whereabouts are unknown, or if he was taken in custody when his flight was stopped.

REPORTS: Confirmed Flight data show P Diddy currently taking a private jet with a final destination of Cape/Cabo Verde Africa -- which has no extradition laws with the United States -- just hours after a major Federal Raid on his Los Angeles and Miami homes resulted in multiple arrests. These arrests reportedly included his sons Justin and King Combs.
