New Soul Channel Launch: You’re Not a Burden
This morning, stepping into –22°C in Ottawa, I was reminded of a truth many highly sensitive light sleepers, with highly sensitive bodies, first-born, fixer-type-A, parentified, petrified, perfectionist souls carry: We were born into stress.
Raised in stress. And conditioned to stay in fight-or-flight long before we spoke our first words.
You grew up feeling like a burden like many first born fixers do, this video might support you as much as it did for me.
Heal Childhood Trauma
For those living with trauma imprints, CIRS or chronic inflammation, environmental sensations like cold, wind, scent and texture aren’t minor irritants — they’re full-body alarms.
CIRS can be passed in the womb and through breast milk. My son carries it too, despite all the things we do as parents during those first 1000 days of life to nurture the microbiome and mind.
This lived reality is what shaped the foundation of the BodhiBerry Peace Tree Method™ — a practice that begins with detoxing our homes and bodies of mould, toxins and traumas, then rebuilding safety from the inside out.
This Sunday on Sober Soul-Care (YouTube @destresswithdeesos), I’ll be exploring why sensitivity is not a mental illness and how to work with our biology instead of pathologizing it.
If you woke up today and the cold felt like a shock to your soul, you’re not alone. Your body isn’t broken. It’s communicating.
Sending Loving Kindness from Canada’s Capital,
Dee

De-Stress With Dee Tip :)
Thanks to a dear soul who introduced me to merino wool fabrics for our sensitive bodies.
Merino is magic because it’s ultra-soft, regulates temp in all seasons, wicks moisture, resists odour and feels like nervous system care stitched into every fibre.
Sensitive souls, have you found a fabric that feels like home on your skin?
