On Healing Trauma and the Four Bodies

Our life experiences shape us in profound ways—how we move through the world, how we see ourselves, and of course our mental health. Today we're talking about coping and healing with the help of The Four Bodies, an incredible framework writer Jacquelyn Ogorchukwu (@ogorchukwuu) brought to our attention.

Takeaways:
1- Our experiences shaped by hardship and historic struggle are a lot of weight to carry.
2- The effects of racial trauma like stress, depression, fatigue, and anxiety, can make healing feel out of reach.
3- Give caring attention to your four bodies: Mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual to help find the balance needed to rest, restore, and rebuild.
