🤍🌿 Sometimes trauma doesn’t show up as a single memory — it shows up in how you’re living now. Quick to anger. Always on edge. Exhausted but unable to sleep. Startling easily. A nervous system that never truly settles.

🖤🌱 You might notice anxiety or depression creeping in. Ruminating thoughts that won’t turn off. Pulling away from people you once felt close to. Feeling more emotional, more sensitive, or strangely numb. Losing your appetite. Losing yourself.

🤍🍃 Trauma can quietly unravel relationships. It can lead to coping habits that don’t actually soothe. Nightmares that replay what your body remembers, even when your mind wants to forget.

🖤🌿 These are not character flaws. They are signs of a nervous system that learned to survive something overwhelming.

🤍🌱 At BraveSteps, we work with the body and the brain — gently, safely, and at your pace — to help your system relearn what safety feels like. Healing doesn’t mean erasing the past. It means restoring regulation, connection, and choice.

🖤🍃 You are not broken. Your system adapted. And it can heal.

Curious about the psychic connection to disease? Curious about how Cancer start growing in the body? ... is it truly all genetics?

"It's okay to be in this space. The transition, the messy middle, the space between.
You've moved on but you haven't yet arrived.
You've left behind what you've needed to, but the puzzle pieces haven't all yet come together.
There's messiness.
There's waiting.
There's uncertainty.
You are wanting to rush, but everything is moving slow.
You are wondering if you will get to where you want to go.

But where you are is perfect.

The messy middle is for doors to close and new doors to open.
This transition period is where things come undone so that they can be put back together.
This is a season to pause and take a breath.

Have love for yourself...

You are exactly where you need to be..."

Why should we care about what happened to us in our childhood? How does this impact me as an adult today?

Become inner-child curious...

Check out my blog post https://wix.to/2c4vlaN

The idea of working with the "inner child" might seem abstract, especially if you're new to the concept or struggle with connecting to your emotions, body, or imagination. The inner child represents the emotional and psychological remnants of our childhood experiences, often carrying wounds from unm...

Healing is hard, but suffering is as well. There is no medication that will make things go away. To take steps towards healing means loving yourself enough to commit to doing the work… and the work doesn’t have to take years. Think about how much time you are willing to waste by staying stuck versus how much time you would like to have in order to live a beautiful life?
Choose you. Above all else.

Being stuck in our past traumas can be a place we find ourselves for YEARS without really knowing. It can look like depression, chronic anxiety, horrible sleep, body aches and pains, headaches, lack of motivation, cluttered household, a million projects on the go, always running late, addictions, narcissism, people pleasing, submissiveness, introversion, extroversion, easily angered or hyper-sensitive. It’s also easy to think that these are our ‘normal’ traits, and can dismiss it as “that’s just how I am”. Remember this: any time ANY strong emotion is predominantly driving our lives, your wounded inner child is riding sh***un. We focus on the things that keep us feeling safe instead of a life of joy and gratitude. We work too much, try to control every little thing or others, and become argumentative or defensive, or perhaps flee from anything that challenges us. Including healing.
