Healing By Design: Why Trauma Healing Makes the Body Tired

In this spontaneous episode of Cage Free Voices Spoken Devotionals, The Queen Bathsheba dives into why trauma healing can leave us feeling deeply drained. She unpacks how trauma is stored in the nervous system and why the biological work of healing is metabolically demanding. As the parasympathetic system rebalances and emotional energy moves through the body, rest and sleep are essential parts of integration—not signs of regression. This episode offers compassion and permission to pause, reminding listeners that healing is nonlinear and that fatigue can be a powerful indicator of progress.
