A woman sits with her head in her hands, embodying the struggle of confronting self-betrayal when coping strategies turn detrimental.

Grounding exercises, supplements, breathwork, and sound can support regulation only when safety exists.

I have been drinking Calm Magnesium. It is not touching the emotional pain. That is because this is not a mineral deficiency. This is not stress mismanagement. This is not something that can be overridden by breathing harder or trying to be more resilient. Magnesium can support a nervous system after safety returns. It cannot convince the body it is safe while harm is still present.
