The Routinery Drop: Vol. 05 Reclaiming Your Present
Many of us carry invisible scars, and for some, the brain's alarm system can feel like it stays on alert long after the storm has passed. June is National PTSD Awareness Month—a time to foster understanding and gentle solidarity for those navigating the aftermath of trauma.
When anxiety or painful memories try to hijack your mind, one of the most grounding things you can do is bring your brain back to the safety of 'here and now.' This issue introduces a brain-science-backed approach to intercepting stress signals before they take over your morning.
