If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you can try this.

Look around and name three things you can see.
Notice one sound.
Feel where your body is supported.

Let your nervous system take that in.

This isn’t about calming down.
It’s about letting your body know where you are.

What happens in your nervous system when you orient?

Your system is always asking: Am I safe?
When safety feels unclear, the body moves into protection: fight, flight, freeze, or collapse.

Orienting gathers real-time cues—not memory or imagination.
Noticing light, space, support, and stillness helps the nervous system soften.

Safety isn’t forced. It’s recognized.
Your system can say: I can be with this.

Orienting is how regulation begins—gently, in real time.

Safety isn’t something you have to convince yourself of.
And it isn’t something you have to pretend.

Orienting invites curiosity instead.
What around you feels safe?
What doesn’t?

There’s no right or wrong answer.
Safety is individual.

And awareness—without forcing—
is often where regulation begins.

Why orienting matters: it brings you back to now.

Not the past. Not the future. Not the story your mind keeps looping.

Without presence, the nervous system goes into survival:
• Future → anxiety
• Past → heaviness, collapse

Some go hypervigilant—scanning, bracing.
Others go into shutdown—numb, distant.

Orienting doesn’t fix it. It simply asks: Where am I now?

From here, your body can update: I’m here. This moment is different.

Save this for the moments you forget 💛

02/03/2026

Hypervigilance and shutdown can look very different,
but both are intelligent responses to overwhelm.

One stays alert.
The other goes quiet.

Orienting doesn’t try to change either.
It gently helps the body notice what’s happening right now.

When the present is felt,
the body doesn’t have to stay in protection.

Respect isn’t just a word.
It’s noticing boundaries, honoring differences, and slowing down to respond instead of react.

It asks: “Can I stay present even when triggered?”
“Can I express myself without attacking or withdrawing?”

It’s not about perfection — it’s about awareness, repair, and showing up embodied.

Transcending Trauma has officially begun.

Last night, as everyone settled in, Leah — our assistant — paused outside the door and reflected on the shoes lined up in the hallway:

“Every pair of these shoes has been on quite a journey… and they all have the opportunity to be kicked off, left outside the door, even for a moment, so their owners can breathe and find solace.”

That’s the work.
Stories carried in. Shoes left at the door. Space to soften, breathe, and begin again.

So grateful to have Leah helping hold this space with such care. 🤍

Orienting is a gentle way back to now.

When the mind drifts to the future, the body can feel anxious.
When it lingers in the past, the body can feel heavy or stuck.

Your nervous system lives in the present.
So when you notice what’s around you, you remind your body:
I’m here. This is now.

Presence doesn’t erase your past.
It gives your body a moment to rest from reliving it.

For many trauma survivors, safety can feel uneasy. Stillness can even trigger alertness.

That’s not regression — it’s your system re-learning what peace feels like.

Safety is not a destination, but a practice of returning. Each time you breathe and stay, your body learns: I can be here now.

Stillness isn’t the goal — it’s the invitation.

Healing isn’t a straight road with signs. It’s more like walking through a fog that slowly lifts as you keep moving.

Sometimes, the greatest progress is found in continuing to show up — even when clarity hasn’t arrived yet.

As your nervous system learns to regulate, uncertainty starts to feel less threatening. You begin to sense that you can meet whatever comes next.

Your partner isn’t just someone to love — they’re a mirror.
They reflect both the parts of yourself you know,
and the parts you’ve avoided or never named.

Triggers and patterns aren’t failures.
They’re invitations to look closer, to understand yourself more deeply.

When we meet these mirrors with curiosity instead of defensiveness,
connection shifts.

🕯 Explore this in Beyond Words, a somatic couples workshop February 13th.
