Linnea, your words land so deeply. In my own work (Return Through the Spiral), I hold these trauma responses as guardians too—living records of how the body kept us here.
I love how you name Attach as both survival and hope. In the Spiral lens, that hope is the life force that refused extinction—and when we honor it, it returns as presence.
“The circle is complete, but the journey continues” could be the Spiral’s own heartbeat. Thank you for this bridge between science and the sacred.
Thank you Vanessa. I can feel a sort of kinship already as I sense your energy through your words. I love your publication title and I look forward to reading what you write. ✨
The spiral is the feminine ancestral wisdom that we need at a time such as this.
I’d love to invite you to a series I’m putting on with a friend and collaborator, that I think may resonate deeply.
Dreaming Together: An Invitation to Journey with the Kin of Ata
Linnea, thank you for such a generous and open-hearted welcome. I feel the kinship too - especially in how you describe the spiral as feminine ancestral wisdom for a time like this.
My work, Return Through the Spiral, was born from walking that same terrain - the descent, the holding, the return - and mapping it as a living architecture for integration. What you’ve written here about honoring every response as part of our wholeness feels like it could have been a page from my own notes.
I would love to join the series you’re offering and bring the spiral into that shared field. It feels like the perfect place for these threads to meet. ✨
We welcome you into that space, where the threads meet. Have you read the book previously? If not, I strongly suspect you would see the magic in it right away.
Linnea, your writing is an act of devotion — to truth, to healing, to the parts of us that were once too tender to be seen. This series has been a profound guide through the terrain of survival, and this final piece on the attach response is especially moving. You’ve given voice to the ache so many carry in silence, and reframed it with such grace and reverence. Your words offer both science and soul, and they land exactly where they’re needed. Thank you for this extraordinary offering — it’s not just insightful, it’s deeply humanizing.
Thank you so much Sara, that means so much coming from someone I respect and admire. 💜 This series was an important one to me and I do love the last 2 essays the most. I appreciate you. 🙏
Your writing reveals how much wisdom you have about these visceral realities, Linnea. Thank you for your eloquent language to describe what many only recognize but cannot describe.
