What would you do to heal emotional trauma?
I was screaming at full volume into a pillow in a grey industrial estate when it dawned on me that maybe this was a slightly unusual way of processing grief.
It wasn’t the first time I'd done something a little odd to try and make sense of things. There was the time I sobbed along to Elton John with a room full of strangers. Or the very special experience of trying to enact the spirit of a deer in a school hall.
I've tried Reiki, reflexology, BodyTalk, shamanic healing, past life regression, breathwork, guided visualization, witchcraft, dreamwork, magic ritual, (disastrous) gong baths and meditation, and in varying ways, these different healing modalities and approaches to life have helped me deal with bereavement, endometriosis, parenthood, depression - and the pandemic, of course.
This book is about acknowledging our trauma, looking at what it actually is, and feeling our feelings. Interviews with practitioners and experts delve deeper into what alternative therapies offer. Ultimately, I hope to trigger much-needed conversations about emotional health and the non-mainstream ways we can heal ourselves.
We all need healing. Healing need not be fancy or glamorous or expensive. The most profound healing experiences I've had have been in thoroughly un-glamourous locations, delivered by very normal people. You don't have to believe anything in particular to have it, you don't need to be into crystals or have tattoos or be a vegan, and you definitely don't have to suffer in silence because you think it's not for you.
Healing is for everyone. It worked for me, and it can work for you.
