What does trust have to do with healing from trauma?
This week in Yoga as Healing, we explored Trust. 🌿What if the most important relationship you need to rebuild trust in… is the one with yourself? 🌿
For so many people who've experienced trauma, self-trust quietly breaks down. You second-guess your feelings. You override your body's signals. You stop believing your own instincts.
That's not a personal failing. That's what trauma does.
In Yoga as Healing, we work gently on rebuilding that relationship — one breath, one sensation, one small choice at a time.
Because trust in yourself doesn't come back all at once. It comes back in moments: ✦ When you listen to what your body needs ✦ When you choose rest without guilt ✦ When you say that didn't feel right and believe yourself ✦ When you meet your own pain with kindness instead of criticism
You were never broken. You were protecting yourself.
And you can find your way back. 🌸
That's exactly why we move through this work gently.
In Week 8 we explore: ✦ What trust actually means through a trauma-sensitive lens ✦ How the breath becomes a reliable anchor ✦ Tree Pose + Arm Circles — rooted and flowing ✦ Trust affirmations you actually believe ✦ The Loving Eyes inner child practice
Our mantra this week: I am rooted, but I flow. I trust in my body and breath to be my guide.
Save this if it speaks to you.
