The healing certainly wasn’t linear or algorithmic, it was poetic, and it wasn’t purely physical. It was emotional. Spiritual. Somatic. Beyond words. Through Somatic Experiencing®, I discovered the language of the nervous system. I learned that trauma isn’t just in our minds—it lives in our tissues, our immune responses, even our hormone patterns. This body-first, spirit-held work changed everything. It brought me home to myself, again and again.
