When you don’t have a voice, you have to scream somehow.

And the body knows how to scream.

It screams through tension in your jaw, words you never said.

It tightens in your throat, the truth you swallowed.

It aches in your chest, the grief you weren’t allowed to feel.

It flares in your stomach, the anger you had to hide to stay safe.

When your voice has been silenced, by fear, by trauma, by years of being told to be good, quiet, pleasing, your emotions don’t disappear. They go underground. They live in your nervous system. In your skin. In your breath.

You might feel anxious but not know why.

You might cry easily, or not at all.

You might get stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, overexplaining, shutting down, or erupting when it gets to be too much.

This is what happens when your voice has nowhere to go.

So many women I work with have never been asked:

What do you feel? What do you need? What do you want to say?

And even more, they’ve never been given the safety to answer.

But your voice is not gone. It’s just been quiet, waiting for the right space to rise.

And when we begin to meet ourselves with compassion, curiosity, and honesty, we begin to hear it again.

That trembling truth.

That buried rage.

That deep wisdom.

That longing to be known.

Therapy can be that space. A space where what was unspoken can finally be heard, named, and honored, without fear.

And when your voice returns, even in whispers at first, the body softens. The system breathes. The heart remembers.

You do not have to scream through pain anymore.

You get to speak. You get to be. You get to heal.

Invite you to ask these questions:

What emotions or physical sensations have been trying to speak for you?

What truth is living in your body, waiting for a voice?

I’m here when you’re ready to meet it, gently, safely, and fully.

DM for details.

With care, 🤍
