When You’ve Been Holding It All Together
A trauma-informed meditation series for emotional and nervous system regulation.
This series is for you if…
You’ve been doing your best to get through the day, while holding a lot beneath the surface
You feel depleted and don’t have much left to offer yourself or others
You feel numb, tense, or heavy in your body
You’re in a time of transition, and the path ahead feels unclear
You notice yourself reacting more than you’d like to, especially when you’re overwhelmed
A gentle meditation series created for moments when you’ve been holding it all together. These trauma-informed practices offer a calm place to pause, reconnect with your body, and meet what’s present with care.
If any of this feels familiar, there’s nothing wrong with you.
When you’ve been under prolonged stress, emotional strain, or uncertainty, your nervous system adapts in order to keep you going. Over time, that constant effort can begin to show up as exhaustion, numbness, reactivity, or a sense of heaviness in the body.
This isn’t a personal failure. It’s a natural response to holding more than one system was meant to carry alone.
Why This Feels So Hard — and how this series helps
When you’ve been holding it together for a long time, your body may not recognize when it’s safe to soften.
Even when nothing is urgently wrong, your system can stay on alert. Your mind keeps scanning. Your body stays tense, tired, or shut down. Rest can feel out of reach, not because you’re doing it wrong, but because your nervous system hasn’t had the space to reset.
This is where these meditations come in.
Rather than asking you to push, analyze, or fix anything, this series offers your nervous system small, steady moments of safety and presence. Each meditation is designed to gently interrupt survival mode and give your system a chance to settle, one moment at a time.
There’s nothing you need to achieve here.
Just space to pause, breathe, and let your body experience what it feels like to be supported again.
a meditation series designed for emotional and nervous system regulation
This meditation series was created for moments when you don’t have the capacity to figure things out, but you still want support.
It includes five trauma-informed, gently guided meditations, each designed to meet a different state you might find yourself in — overwhelm, emotional intensity, numbness, uncertainty, or deep exhaustion.
Rather than building toward a single outcome, these meditations are meant to be returned to again and again. You can choose what feels most supportive in the moment, or stay with one track for as long as you need.
There’s no right way to use this series. You don’t need to listen in order, stay focused the whole time, or “do it well.” Each meditation offers a steady, grounding presence — something you can lean into when your system needs a pause.
If it feels helpful, you can watch the short video below where I gently walk you through how to work with this series in a way that feels supportive and safe.
You don’t need to remember anything or get it “right.” This is simply a gentle introduction — a place to land before you begin.
This series isn’t here to promise a dramatic breakthrough or quick fix. It’s about creating small moments where your body can soften, your breath can slow, and you don’t have to hold everything on your own — moments that, over time, can quietly support meaningful change.
