Biology of Trauma

The Amygdala, Hippocampus & Prefrontal Cortex are key areas within the brain that are impacted during trauma. Memory, hypervigilance & executive function are all affected during trauma responses. This is your brain, trying to keep you safe.

I find understanding the biological reasons behind my trauma responses helps me to feel less shame, and appreciate that my body, brain & nervous system are doing their best to keep me alive.

They just don’t realize that not everything is a threat right now. But I’m OK with that, because ultimately they helped to survive. So now I can learn how to thrive. 🫶🏻

The Full Moon on May 1st is one of the most magical nights of the year, and it has something wonderful waiting for you.

Every wish you have genuinely felt, every dream you kept returning to even when the timing felt wrong, has been heard.

The Universe absorbs real longing like light and it has been weaving your desires into form ever since you first felt them. Something is almost here.

What you have been dreaming of is dreaming of you right back. People are being drawn into your orbit. Doors are swinging open in the most delightful, unexpected ways. The kind of magic you used to wonder if you deserved is arriving now because you always did.

This Full Moon is a gift to everyone who kept the faith through the long, uncertain in-between. Who chose hope over and over again without a single guarantee it would pay off. That devotion is being seen, honored, and beautifully returned.

You are being pulled forward into something that was written for you long before you thought to wish for it.

Let May 1st find you soft, open and expectant. The blessings are already in motion. All you have to do is stay open long enough to let the magic of this extraordinary moon place everything it has been saving for you directly into your life.
