what happens after anger floods the body and then gets stuck? It lingers. It tightens. It numbs. It warps how we see the world.we all have the capacity to express healthy anger and to come home to ourselves. but, we often suppress our anger, trapping it within ourselves, making it even harder to feel truly safe in our own bodies and to embrace our whole selves.that's why I've designed this 3-part series. The goal here isn't to release a lifetime of rage in 30 minutes. The goal is to approach a sacred and wise part of ourselves (that is often otherwise suppressed or feared) with intention and love.The outcome? Well, exploring your relationship to rage and expanding your capacity to regulate can change your life. It has certainly changed mine.Here's what you might expect:
- more at home in your body
- a deeper sense of self-trust
- less fear and suppression of rage when it shows up
- greater awareness of which release & regulation techniques work for you
- more able to self-regulate after emotional spikes
- more connected to your authentic energy
You’ll leave this series with simple, repeatable practices to move through rage — not around it — and to embody regulation.3 sessions x 30 minutes each:
- Each session will guide you through 1 form of what I call suppressed rage: Rigid Rage, Silent Rage, and Invisible Rage. Practices to express rage include body movements, voice activation, and visual art-therapy.
- After tapping into a layer of rage for release, it's vital to re-ground. There are many ways to help the nervous system settle through breath, sound, and motion: humming on the exhale in meditation, rhythmic movement practices (like spinal waves), and more. What works for one person might not be what someone else needs, and so, I'll offer 2+ options for regulation each session.All practices are an invitation to explore, and, your experience may vary from others'.
Hey friend, I'm Eve, and I'm not here to fix you or your emotions. I'm here to create a safe-enough space for you to feel your feels, and embrace yourself.My approach in this workshop series is informed by years of experiences along my personal healing journey (ranging from EMDR, guided meditation, plant medicine, cyclical living, martial arts, talk-therapy, and more) and by an ongoing study in somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed facilitation. By the end of December, I'll be a certified coach in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy (by the EmbodyLab).My role here is to hold the container. You don't need to explain why you're here; I am not your therapist and this work isn't clinical. What I offer are guided practices where you stay in control of your own pace, experience, and boundaries.

Life doesn't stop after the unbearable happens. After experiencing sexual violence, parts of myself closed down. So, I am creating Obsidian Reflections to give air to the words that have built up in my bones.Whether you’re a survivor or an ally, these writings are shared with a tender and hopeful intention to create a sense of shared healing: not by comparing stories, but by recognizing that truth-telling, in all its forms, is an art that can connect us.It’s a place to witness my heart and art in motion and maybe feel a little more free to express your whole, wonderful, weird self, too.

Approaching oneself after experiencing violation(s) is no easy feat. I know.Some of the most supportive resources for me have been the books on my kindle and my journal. Reading about traumatic events and trauma-informed healing practices stirs things up. Sadness. Rage. Grief. Hope. Validation. Compassion. The more I have read (and engaged in healing practices beyond the pages), the more I have realized how I wish there was space for me within these types of books. I wish for an experience where I can witness another and myself on the same page.So, I am creating what happened to be exactly that: a place where two stories can co-exist, and where there is room for the both of us.Here's my vision:
- part-my-memoir: personal stories of SA trauma and the practices (mindset-based and body-based) that transformed my life
- part-your-journal: guided prompts for you and open pages within the book for you to write on
- a print-only hardcover book, so, you'll get to write in response to the prompts within the pages of the book itselfThis will not be a workbook promising a guaranteed outcome; I am not writing this to fix you or tell you what your healing journey should look like. This will be a place where you'll move between reading and writing. You'll have the chance to witness myself and witness yourself. At your own pace, we will walk beside each other — as survivors, as sisters — even as we heal in our own ways.what happened is in progress. Updates will be shared through Obsidian Reflections' Substack posts and emails.
