The Prefrontal Cortex

(Your Inner Wise One)

This part of the brain is responsible for self-awareness, emotional regulation, reasoning, and perspective.
When you identify your emotions and talk yourself through what happened, you're literally activating your prefrontal cortex—bringing logic and compassion back online after being hijacked by stress or overwhelm.

“You’re not here to fix yourself. You’re here to remember yourself.”

**✨ This is when your body says,**
*“I don’t have to fight or freeze anymore.”*✨

The Amygdala

(The Fear + Alarm Center)

This is the brain’s emotional fire alarm—it scans for danger and goes into fight/flight when it feels threatened.
When you process emotions, speak your truth, and hear someone affirm your reality, your amygdala starts to calm down—it realizes you’re not alone and you’re not in danger anymore.

**✨ This is when your story begins to shift from “This broke me” to “I’m still here, and I’m healing”✨**

The Hippocampus

(The Inner Archivist)

This area helps you process and store memory—especially emotional memory.
When you walk through what happened with care and clarity, you’re giving your brain a chance to reorganize the story—so the experience doesn’t live on as raw, unresolved trauma.

**✨ This is when your nervous system says, *“I’m safe. I can feel again.”*✨**

The Vagus Nerve

(The Bridge Between Brain + Body)

This is part of your parasympathetic nervous system, and it plays a huge role in rest, digestion, emotional release, and feeling safe again.
Sound healing, deep breathing, and feeling seen by another person all stimulate the vagus nerve, helping your whole system come down from survival mode and reconnect to your body.
