Communication....

So many people in healing spaces are focused on becoming “better communicators.” Be less aggressive, more assertive, speak up more, move in silence etc etc

But I want to offer a reframe because that can be misleading and misses the context in what, where and to whom we're communicating.

If you’ve ever felt like you couldn’t get your words out, or you left conversations feeling confused, small, or dismissed… that’s not a communication failure. That’s a safety response.

Your nervous system tracks safety far more than logic. And when something feels off—even subtly—you may find yourself over-explaining, shutting down, or trying to manage the other person’s reaction.

In unhealthy dynamics, communication can become distorted. You might be clear, calm, and grounded… and still not be heard.

That’s why this work isn’t just about what you say. Its about recognising where it’s safe to say it and how you can stay regulated as you navigate situations where communication may be welcome, or not actually worth your words at all.

Have you experienced this?

I know I have.

Working with my nervous system, clearing and aligning my chakras (my throat was so blocked id physically choke up or be sick after the abuse when i tried to communicate), understanding my communication style, getting to grips with boundaries and knowing who I am & my intentions made a huge difference to how i'm perceived as a communicator and how comfortable and safe i feel to communicate.
