Where is trauma stored in the body? This article explores how trauma affects the body over time and the most common symptoms of trauma in adults. Through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens, it reframes these symptoms as intelligent adaptations and introduces body-based approaches to trauma and recovery.

What if healing trauma wasn’t about forcing release, but about restoring safety in the body?

PTSD lives in the nervous system — not just the story. Craniosacral therapy offers a gentle, body-led approach that supports the nervous system in releasing trauma in layers, as safety and capacity grow. Blending lived experience and research, this piece explores how healing can unfold without overwhelm — and why the body always knows the way.

As the year comes to a close, the pressure to reinvent ourselves can feel loud and relentless. But what if the new year isn’t asking for more effort or perfection—only intention? This piece invites you to release rigid resolutions and choose a word instead: a steady, embodied anchor to guide your choices, energy, and presence throughout the year. A softer beginning starts here.

Sometimes regulation doesn’t happen in a meditation room — it happens in bathrooms, meetings, and family dinners. This simple EFT tapping point offers a gentle, on-the-go way to calm your nervous system. It won’t heal everything, but it can support you coming back to yourself in real time.

The Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year — a sacred threshold where darkness completes its work and the light quietly begins to return.

This is not a season for pushing forward, but for turning inward. For resting, rooting, and allowing what is unseen to take shape. Through the wisdom of winter, the cocoon, and the seed beneath the soil, this reflection invites you to honour rest as preparation, darkness as initiation, and stillness as sacred.

A gentle reminder that you do not need to force the light — it has already begun to return.

Pleasure isn’t indulgence — it’s your life force returning. When you numb grief, anger, or shame, you also numb joy, desire, creativity, and the prana that makes you feel vividly alive. This piece reveals why we cannot selectively numb, how pleasure signals nervous system safety, and why reclaiming your sensuality is a spiritual awakening. Your body wasn’t meant to live muted. It was made to feel everything.

An Invitation Into Wholeness

Healing is not about fixing what is “broken.”
It is about remembering who you are beneath survival patterns, inherited wounds, and cultural conditioning.

At The Soul Work Space, we integrate science and spirit, nervous system and soul, past and present, conscious and subconscious. This is a space where all of you is welcomed — where healing is no longer compartmentalized, but whole.
