A 3-Step Daily Reset for Safety, Fear Rewiring & Emotional Healing After Trauma

By The Artful Woman
After surviving a stroke and a catastrophic accident, I’ve had to rebuild not just my body—but my nervous system, my thoughts, and my sense of safety in the world. At the very least, I dedicate 10 minutes each morning to anchoring my body in safety. From there, I’ve developed a simple 3-step daily reset that helps me move through fear, regulate my thoughts, and gently rewire how I relate to uncertainty, pain, and hope. This is not about perfection. It’s about returning to yourself, over and over again, especially after trauma. 1. Morning Safety Anchor (2 minutes) I place my hand on my heart and breathe: inhale for 4, hold for 2, exhale for 6. I say: “In this moment, I am safe.” This helps ground my nervous system and even supports calming phantom pain when it shows up. 2. Midday Thought Flip (30 seconds at a time) When fear starts to spiral into “what if” scenarios, I pause. Instead of feeding the fear, I answer it gently: “And if it happens, I’ll handle it. What if it goes right inst...

Deep Thinker, Deep Feeler: The Path to Intuition and Psychic Awareness

Image
By The Artful Woman

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a deep thinker and a deep feeler. I analyze everything, searching for meaning beneath the surface. I don’t just experience emotions—I absorb them, sometimes so intensely that they feel overwhelming.

Because of this, I’ve never been able to watch scary or violent movies. They don’t just scare me—they stay with me. The fear, the pain, the energy of what’s happening on screen lingers long after the credits roll. It’s as if I become part of the scene, feeling what the characters feel. For years, I thought I was just overly sensitive. But then I learned something that changed everything.

Deep thinking and deep feeling often align with heightened intuition. Deep thinkers naturally analyze, reflect, and seek meaning beyond the obvious, while deep feelers experience emotions profoundly and are highly sensitive to energy. I now realize that my sensitivity isn’t just a personality trait—it’s a sign of something more. I’m an empath, but perhaps even beyond that.

The Connection Between Deep Feeling and Intuition

At first, I dismissed my experiences as simple empathy, but the more I explored, the more I recognized a deeper connection. Could my heightened awareness be something greater—something intuitive, or even psychic? Here’s why I believe so:

  1. Deep Thinking Leads to Pattern Recognition
    I constantly search for patterns—whether in people’s behaviors, life events, or my own thoughts. Intuition operates the same way, picking up on subtle connections before our logical mind catches on.

  2. Deep Feeling Enhances Emotional Awareness
    I don’t just notice emotions—I experience them. If someone is sad, even if they don’t say a word, I feel it. I sense tension in the air before an argument starts. I can walk into a room and instantly pick up on its energy. This emotional sensitivity is not just empathy—it’s intuitive perception.

  3. Empathy as a Gateway to Intuition
    Empaths don’t just understand emotions; they absorb them. But what if that ability extends beyond emotions? What if we can also pick up on thoughts, intentions, or even spiritual energy? Many intuitive and psychic people begin as empaths, and I’m beginning to believe my sensitivity is more than just emotional—it’s energetic.

  4. A Deep Connection to the Unseen
    For years, I ignored my gut feelings—only to realize later that they were right. Now, I’m learning to trust them. Because intuition isn’t just a vague feeling; it’s real, and it’s powerful.

What This Means for Me (And Maybe for You, Too)

If you:

  • Feel emotions deeply, sometimes to the point of overwhelm
  • Pick up on energies and moods without knowing why
  • Struggle with violent or intense media because it affects you on a deeper level
  • Have strong gut feelings that often turn out to be right

Then you may also be more intuitive than you realize. You might even have psychic abilities waiting to be explored.

I’m still on this journey, but one thing is clear—deep thinking and deep feeling aren’t weaknesses. They are gifts. They allow us to connect with the world in ways most people never will. They make us more aware, more in tune, and more open to the unseen.

And maybe, just maybe, they are the key to unlocking something even greater.

It’s time for me to start telling my story.

By The Artful Woman
 It’s time for me to start telling my story. For a long time, I stayed quiet outside of a very small circle of close friends. I shared only enough to stay connected, but not enough to be fully seen. That wasn’t avoidance—it was protection. After my accident, my nervous system and my energy field simply could not take in more input from the outside world. As an empath, I had to retreat in order to survive and heal. But as my strength slowly returns, I feel that silence shifting. I was in a tragic accident on Ortega Highway that changed the entire course of my life. In an instant, everything I knew about my body, my independence, and my future was disrupted. Since then, I’ve been forced into a long and ongoing process of rebuilding—not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. And I’m still in it. Even the simplest things that most people take for granted have become daily challenges. Basic mobility. Using the restroom safely and in time. Navigating transfers ...

Why I’m Still Here

By The Artful Woman
  Why I’m Still Here By Jean Marshall I’ve asked myself the question more times than I can count: Why am I still here? After a stroke that changed my life five years ago, I thought I had already learned resilience. I thought I had already been tested. But then came the accident — a beautiful September morning that shattered my body, altered my future, and once again forced me to start over from the ground up. There are days I still can’t fully understand it. One man’s poor decision, one wrong moment, and everything changed. My bones broke. My leg was lost. My body shut down. My life — the one I’d built with so much effort — came to a stop. But somehow, my heart didn’t. They tell me it took over twenty doctors and nurses to keep me alive that day. I was in an induced coma, held together by machines, prayers, and the hands of strangers. There were moments I thought I was dying — I even said my last prayers. But each time I surrendered, something unseen pulled me back. Something...

Help Me Stay Housed While Recovering From a Life-Changing Accident

By The Artful Woman
  Help Me Stay Housed While Recovering From a Life-Changing Accident On September 6th, my life changed in an instant when a driver crossed into my lane on Ortega Highway and hit me head-on. My car was thrown into the air and I nearly lost my life. My vehicle was completely totaled. I spent four months in the hospital. The first part was in a trauma unit where I was placed in an induced coma and underwent multiple life-saving surgeries. I was then transferred to an acute care facility where I required critical support, including IVs, a tracheostomy, a feeding tube, and dialysis. My injuries included: Loss of my right leg Six broken ribs and two vertebrae Broken pelvis, right arm, and wrist Multiple fractures in my left leg Kidney and heart failure from trauma Many of my injuries required surgical repair with metal hardware that I am still healing from After returning home, my focus has been recovery. I’ve faced infections, complications, and delayed healing that hav...

What Surviving Twice Taught Me About Purpose—And What It Didn’t

By The Artful Woman
  Questioning the idea that survival comes with a purpose to fulfill I’ve survived two life-altering events, and what I’ve learned about purpose isn’t what people expect. They say, “God kept your alive for a reason,” or “God still has a purpose for you.” And I need to be honest about how that lands for me. It doesn’t feel comforting. It feels like pressure. Like surviving something traumatic automatically comes with an assignment—something I’m supposed to figure out later, some hidden meaning I’m expected to uncover. And in my case, this hasn’t been said just once. It’s been said twice. Once after my stroke in 2020. And now again after a near-death accident on September 6th 2025 that changed my life forever. So it starts to create a pattern I can’t ignore—that my survival is always being tied to some purpose I haven’t “fulfilled” yet. And that raises a real question for me: Why does it sound like I have to go through something catastrophic in order for my life to be cons...
