👉Early trauma doesn't go away. It rumbles, in the distance or nearby.

It becomes our life's work to navigate it with intention, patience and kindness.

Some days, with irritation, sadness and loneliness.

They're all packed into the same journey. 🩵

👇This post is for those of us who have tried the "five simple steps" on social media, only to find ourselves wondering why change feels more complicated than promised.

When reality doesn't align with how we're told to measure success, growth, personal development, or healing - despite our best efforts at determination, self-discipline, and willpower - a more nuanced perspective can sometimes offer reassurance.

Oh, social media also tells us that the habits we are looking to change are often not bad habits, but survival strategies:

Overeating, doom scrolling, addictions, conflict seeking, conflict avoidance, perfectionism, shutting down, and on and on.

So we’re all clear on that. The steps are still not easy.

In fact, there is no number of "easy" steps that can shift a trauma response through sheer willpower and understanding.

Real change is not dramatic. Sometimes, it's barely visible.

👉It comes on a whole spectrum - a week in which you hit the dust, have a breakthrough, collapse again; a better night of sleep; a good day for digestion; more tolerance for touch, eye contact, intimacy; less lashing out.

The healing journey is not linear or short. But it consistently offers glimpses of the nervous system testing for safety and finding a bit more than before. Glimpses of us being able to hold both difficulty and ease.

Finding more safety in joy, connection and sensory experiences is something that no simple-step program can truly provide. 🩵

🎨One of my clients is an established professional painter living with severe developmental trauma.

He is unable to describe his internal states, but brings me paintings that viscerally capture his experiences.

Imagine living as a kid inside someone else's extreme panic.

Except you don't have to imagine it.

Your body has vivid memories of each moment that the adult's fear consumed the child's vitality.

👉Today, he brought a photo of this painting:

Saturn eats his children out of fear that they will overthrow him.

The child is completely powerless - the body is contorted and consumed by his father's wide-eyed terror.

đź’ˇThe intergenerational transmission of trauma is often that devouring living inside you, a quiet shadow shaping how safe it feels to even be yourself.

If you’re interested in what these kinds of trauma patterns actually look like inside the therapy room, my upcoming book explores ten somatic case studies, including developmental and generational trauma, through the unfolding process of real sessions and the nervous systems living inside them.

“Ten Case Studies from the Underworld: Somatic Explorations of Trauma and Frozen Vitality” will be available on Amazon soon. 🩵

(*Francisco Goya's masterpiece Saturn Devouring His Son is housed at Museo del Prado in Madrid. It was originally painted directly onto the walls of his home.)

👉You can't name the feeling.

You can't find it in your body.

You can feel it gather in the distance, and that's the best you can do with it.

Can you bring it closer? Into your throat, into your face.

To the place where crying almost starts, where a smile could form.

That's enough. 🩵

⚡The nervous system is capable of profound states of connection, awe, regulation, unity, compassion, and expanded perception.

Not mystical in a vague way, but measurable in brainwaves, coherence patterns, neurochemical shifts, and autonomic regulation.

Maybe that’s why we’re obsessed with movies like The Matrix and Avatar, and with super heroes. 🦸‍♀️

They’re not science fiction. They are stories of nervous systems waking up.

Of organisms remembering their capacity to connect - to each other, to nature, to consciousness itself. 🌌

✍️One of the most challenging aspects of writing this book was resisting the impulse to explain everything.

In a session, there is often no neat interpretation happening in real time. There is presence, observation, co-regulation, sensation, silence.

Writing about that process without over-organizing it for the reader felt like walking a very thin line.

I can't wait for it to be released.

Often, what begins to create change is not more insight or understanding,

But the experience of being met differently.

A regulated presence. An empathetic witness. A space where protective patterns no longer need to work quite so hard to keep emotion outside of awareness.

Over time, many people begin to discover that the body already holds an innate movement toward integration when it no longer has to suppress, fragment, or endure alone. 🩵

👉What’s in your pockets?

Fear you inherited? Shame you absorbed?

As I watched my client's hands, bulging in his pockets and pushing hard against the fabric, I wondered: is this anger actually hiding right now?

Whatever's in YOUR pockets, does it still belong there? 🩵
