Start With Grounding
- Ground yourself with a few deep breaths and sensory checks before diving into emotional work.
- Use grounding to bring attention inward and begin nervous system regulation.
We Heal Better Together
- Healing alone is common but not how our nervous systems are wired to recover.
- Being with grounded, kind people naturally soothes breath, shoulders, and emotional intensity.
Witness, Don't Fix
- Sit with someone who witnesses you with compassion instead of trying to fix you.
- Practice shared breathing or grounding in groups to send safety signals to nervous systems.
