Trauma is overwhelming, but healing doesn't have to be.
Your Inner Nurturer knows you're doing it right.
You are already enough. No one deserves abuse for any reason.
Shallow chest breathing takes up as little space as possible. Deeper belly breathing pushes out into the world. Back breathing claims the space that is already yours.
Explore your skills at both hiding and shining.
Interrupt anxiety with acceptance and understand its role in your body.
Enjoy maintenance tasks as affirmations of presence.
When your recurring pattern has you in its claws, hold still and move in.
Boundaries are already part of us, a flexible container for our sensations, emotions, and preferences, separating "me" from "not-me".
To reduce suffering, relate to pain as a friend bearing a message rather than an enemy to be feared.
