Trauma is not weakness. It is what happens when the nervous system encounters more than it can process in the moment.
When trauma is unresolved, the body remains in a scanning state — always looking for threat. In that state, intuition is hard to hear, because hypervigilance mimics its signals. Healing does not create intuition. It removes the noise that has been obscuring it.
This bonus is an invitation to be gentle with yourself. If a chapter surfaced something that felt too heavy, that is not failure. That is information — and often a signal to invite in support: a therapist, a somatic practitioner, a trusted community.
