Reconnect to the power within.
At Soma, we believe healing begins with curiosity, connection, and compassion toward ourselves. Our blog is designed to offer thoughtful insights into the emotional experiences that shape our lives and relationships; helping you better understand yourself, your nervous system, and the patterns you may find yourself navigating.
Here, you’ll find conversations around attachment, trauma, anxiety, relationships, boundaries, emotional regulation, therapeutic modalities and more—all through a grounded, relational, and somatic lens.
Whether you’re beginning your healing journey, moving through a difficult season, or simply wanting to feel more connected to yourself, we hope this space offers support, insight, and reminders that you do not have to navigate it alone.

Trauma isn't just something we remember, it's something our nervous system experiences. If you've ever wondered why you still feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally shut down even though you know you're safe, you're not alone. In this article, we'll explore how trauma affects the nervous system through the Polyvagal Theory, the difference between hyperarousal and hypoarousal, and how trauma therapy in North Vancouver can help you move from survival mode toward healing and connection.
