REFLECTIONS ON HEALING, SPIRIT, AND THE BODY
Say Yes to the Mess: Why Holistic Trauma Therapy Wins in 2026
2026 feels like a threshold year. Not because the calendar changed, but because so many of us are tired of pretending we’re fine while quietly unraveling inside. This reflection explores why holistic, trauma-informed therapy isn’t about fixing or transforming yourself, but about integration, permission, and learning to feel safe enough to be fully human. It’s an invitation to say yes to support, yes to your nervous system, and yes to the slow, honest work of becoming.
The Ego Isn’t the Enemy, But It Sure Is Loud
A trauma-informed reflection on how the ego protects, blocks intuition, and shapes our inner world and how we can meet it with compassion instead of fear.
The Roundness of Healing: The Soul’s Language
Healing is rarely linear it’s a round, unfolding process of remembering who we are. In this reflection on spiritual integration therapy, Mallory Tedrick, LPCC, explores how the language of the soul can guide trauma healing beyond words. Through somatic awareness, mindfulness, and holistic practices, she invites clients to connect body, mind, and spirit to rediscover meaning after anxiety, depression, or PTSD. This approach to holistic trauma therapy honors both the science of psychology and the mystery of the sacred within.
