Mental health is conventionally addressed through mind-focused approaches, but this misses crucial aspects of wellbeing found in the body and spirit. Trauma becomes stored in our nervous system, creating patterns that affect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors long after the original experience.

• Every person experiences trauma—both "big T" traumas like major life events and "little t" traumas like childhood embarrassment
• Trauma is anything too overwhelming for us to process in the moment
• Panic attacks and anxiety are normal, natural trauma responses from the body
• Body-based tools like sunshine exposure, cold compresses, and specific breathing practices can help regulate the nervous system
• Mental health disruptions are often rooted in nervous system patterns, not just the mind
• Yoga is a powerful somatic trauma recovery tool that creates space for body awareness and healing
• Accessing the wisdom in your body can help re-pattern your nervous system
