A trip to San Diego showed me the beauty of growth, the limits of my capacity, and the importance of listening to my body—especially when life feels full.

Healing isn’t always about pushing harder — sometimes it’s about slowing down enough to listen. After intense therapy and growth, I reached a point of strong resistance to almost all the tools I had learned. Somatic work became the bridge between who I had been and who I was becoming — teaching me how to stay with myself, not just understand myself.
