Collective trauma is what happens when a group of people are exposed—over and over—to prolonged stress, fear, injustice, uncertainty, or harm. Even if the events aren’t happening directly to us, our nervous systems are still taking it in. Through news cycles, social media, family history, and lived experience, our bodies register threat and instability.
That’s why so many of us feel on edge, exhausted, reactive, numb, or overwhelmed right now. This isn’t a personal failure. It’s a biological and emotional response to living in a world that has asked us to metabolize too much for too long.
When collective trauma is present, the body doesn’t ask logical questions—it asks:
Am I safe?
Who can I trust?
What do I need to survive this moment?
This is where inner work matters.
Healing doesn’t always look like fixing or bypassing. Sometimes it looks like:
👉Sitting quietly and letting yourself feel
👉Journaling without censoring yourself
👉Crying without explaining why
👉Shaking, stretching, breathing, moving the stress out of your body
👉Reconnecting with your morals, ethics, and inner compass
👉Tending to the parts of you that learned to stay small, quiet, or hyper-vigilant
This is inner child work, trauma healing, nervous system regulation, spiritual practice—it’s all the same root. When we heal internally, we change what we bring into the world.
✨ A gentle reminder:
My Sunday workshop from 1–3pm starting February 1-22 is intentionally designed as a safe, grounded space to do this work together. A place to slow down, to be witnessed, to soften, and to heal—without fixing, forcing, or performing. You don’t have to carry it alone.

This is inner healing so we can see it reflected outside of ourselves.
What we put out does come back.
So today, take a breath.
Send peace.
Send love.
Send light.
To every being—even the ones you don’t agree with.
That choice alone is a radical act of healing.
