Healing. What a word, right? For many of us, healing can feel like a far-off dream, especially if you are just not coming out of a storm. Restoration can feel like something we’re constantly reaching for but never quite touching. I know that feeling well—the feeling of being disconnected from myself, from my own body. It’s a form of survival to live like this. But it doesn’t have to be our story forever.
I’ve spent years learning how to reconnect. While in Seminary, I dove into the study of disEmbodiment and what it means for our lives. I realized that trauma pushes us out of our own bodies. We exist, but we don’t live fully. We protect ourselves by creating distance between our feelings, from the sensations that remind us of past pain. But in doing so, we lose touch with the very part of ourselves that is capable of healing.
Embodiment is about coming home to our bodies. It’s about feeling the earth under our feet and trusting that we are safe to be here, in this moment. For me, that has been the hardest part—trusting that I can be present, even with all the history I carry. But I’ve learned that my body isn’t just a vessel for pain; it’s also the place where joy, love, and hope live.
Healing is not about forgetting the past or pretending that trauma never happened. It’s about learning to live in the present, in the body, in the now. It’s about letting yourself be fully alive, scars and all. I’m here, walking this path too, and I invite you to walk it with me. Let’s come home, together.
