Your Body Isn’t Revisiting the Past
Your body doesn’t replay the past for punishment.
It releases it when safety finally arrives.
When Your Brother Was the Enforcement

And when safety disappears, the self disappears.
Your reactions now aren’t weakness – they’re memory. Naming this truth is the first step back to yourself.
Depression as the Echo, Not the Enemy
“I wasn’t struggling with depression – I was struggling with life. Depression was the effect, not the cause.”
In this reflection, Lya invites us to see depression not as the enemy but as the body and soul’s cry for alignment – a message to slow down, listen, and release what’s too heavy to carry.

Meltdown as Medicine
Sometimes a meltdown isn’t weakness – it’s medicine. The body’s way of saying “enough,” stripping us back to truth and giving us space to heal.
