14 Subtle Signs Your Body Is Starting to Heal from Trauma (And Why They Matter)

“You have the power to heal yourself, and you need to know that. We think so often that we are helpless, but we’re not. We always have the power of our minds. Claim and consciously use your power.” ~ Louise Hay

Your body doesn’t heal in one dramatic moment of clarity. Healing doesn’t arrive like a thunderclap or a single breakthrough or happen overnight. It unfolds gently, often invisibly through small, surprising shifts.

My own healing journey has been in progress daily since 1999 in the most surprising ways.

You Are Not Broken: Healing Anxiety from the Inside Out

“Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.” — Kahlil Gibran

Unlocking the Chemistry of Joy: A Spiritual Approach to Inner Harmony

“If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment.” ~ Carlos Santana

Our minds and hearts are guided by a beautiful symphony of inner energies—what science calls neurotransmitters, and what the soul might experience as emotional tones. Four of these key messengers—dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins—work in harmony to help us feel connected, peaceful, purposeful, and alive.

In the years when I suffered from major loss, depression, and huge transitions in my life, I had no idea that I could take charge of my own emotions and actually steer them in a positive direction. But I knew that I couldn’t keep feeling this horrible…and that’s when, through a lot of reading and research, I discovered the magic of these four neurotransmitters. Dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins are often referred to as “happy hormones” due to their roles in promoting positive emotions, well-being, and pain management.

In this article, I am sharing all that I know you can do to consistently return to your happy space, no matter what life throws your way. ❤
