Sundown Healing Arts

Intuitive, compassionate bodywork for trauma

Healing Resources – Websites

Because some of these websites address trauma with unblinking honesty, sometimes in unflinching detail, be gentle with yourself as you read them. Remember to breathe, and take frequent breaks to check in with yourself about how you’re responding to the information. Make yourself a list of things to do if you get anxious, or read mine.
