End-of-Summer Grounding
|
The end of summer can feel like standing between two worlds—lazy days fading behind us and the structure of September routines stretching out ahead. Our nervous system notices this shift. What happens within your system? For many, it stirs up restlessness, overwhelm, or the sense of being pulled in a dozen directions at once. And for others, September feels like a welcome exhale.

Healing that includes, the grounding, the calm, the intensity, the scary - it includes the range and variety of emotions that being human offers. Safety doesn’t mean nothing hard will come up. It means that when something does rise...
Healing from trauma can feel like standing at the base of a steep mountain. From down below, the path looks impossible—so far, so high, so exhausting. Maybe you’ve felt that weight: The urge to push through and scramble up as fast as you can, even when your body is pleading for rest. Or the opposite—the collapse and desire to quit before you even begin, because the climb feels too overwhelming to try. And in those moments, two very different voices often show up inside: One says, “Just push...
In the past week, a few of my clients shared similar experiences with me. During our somatic and/or vagal practices together, each of them felt intense emotions or physical sensations come up. They leaned toward the practice… then backed off. Then leaned in again… then pulled back. Some wondered if they were “doing it wrong.” Others felt a little afraid of what was surfacing. A few thought it was just plain weird. The truth? This is part of the healing journey. What they were doing is...
