Healing isn’t just about thinking or analyzing—it begins with feeling. Our emotions influence how we communicate, behave, and relate to ourselves and others, often in ways we don’t fully notice. By integrating mind, body, and emotions, we can reconnect with our inner experiences, release trapped emotional energy, and cultivate deeper awareness, balance, and wellbeing.

Grief can bring a wide range of emotions, many of them unexpected and overwhelming. One often overlooked response is anxiety, which is a completely natural part of coping with the loss of someone close. This guide explores how anxiety can appear during grief, why it happens, and offers gentle suggestions for support and self-care.

The mind and body are deeply connected, and emotions we ignore or suppress do not simply disappear—they often get stored in the body. Over time, these unresolved feelings can manifest as physical tension, discomfort, or illness, signaling the need for healing. Individuals who are disconnected from their emotions or who carry past trauma may notice these feelings emerging somatically, revealing the profound link between emotional and physical health. By recognizing how unprocessed emotions show up in the body, we open the door to deeper healing, resilience, and overall well-being.

Modern life can leave our nervous systems in overdrive—especially if we’re carrying unresolved trauma or chronic stress. Breathwork for trauma healing offers a gentle yet powerful way to reconnect with your body, calm your mind, and begin releasing what no longer serves you—one conscious breath at a time.

As a late-diagnosed AuDHD (autistic and ADHD) counsellor, I completed my training before there was much awareness of neurodivergence.
