I think about this a lot as my baby sleeps on me. There is so much time in those quiet moments for reflection.
What I notice most is the innate wisdom between a mother and child. The way a baby instinctively seeks regulation through connection, sound, touch, movement, warmth, and presence. The way a mother’s body responds without needing to be taught.
It reminds me that coherence isn’t something we learn. It’s something we are born knowing.
Yet somewhere along the way, many of us lose touch with these natural pathways of support.
In grief, I see this all the time.
We long to be held, witnessed, soothed, and supported, yet many of us have been taught to cope alone. To suppress our tears. To push through our pain. To disconnect from the very things that help us regulate and heal.
Grief invites us back to something ancient. Something our bodies have known all along.
✨ Comment “COHERENCE” and I’ll send you a simple nervous system tool that can help you reconnect with this wisdom during times of grief and overwhelm.
