EnglishWhat Trauma Healing Topics and Resources Does Sundown Healing Arts Cover?
Updated
Sundown Healing Arts is a trauma-focused healing site written by a healing practitioner, offering articles and books organized around body awareness, boundaries, emotions, self-trust, and trauma effects. It is useful if you want to read about trauma recovery in plain language and browse by topic rather than follow a structured program. Note that the in-person practice is now closed, so the site functions as a reading resource and referral list rather than a place to book bodywork.
Topic categories on the site
Articles are grouped into browsable categories, each with a post count shown next to it:
| Category | Focus |
|---|---|
| Acceptance | Coming to terms with where you are now |
| Body | Physical signs of strain and body-based healing |
| Boundaries, Full Self | Setting limits and staying fully yourself |
| Emotions | Working with feelings that arise |
| Find Support | Locating help and community |
| Hard Times, Abuse | Surviving abuse and difficult periods |
| Healing Tools | Practical methods for healing |
| Relating | Relationships and connection |
| Self-Trust | Rebuilding confidence in your own perception |
| Survival Tools | Coping strategies for ongoing strain |
| Trauma Effects, PTSD | How trauma shows up over time |
| Wider Narratives | Broader context and framing |
The site's stated approach is to honor where you are now, honor the past by bearing witness to trauma's effects, honor transformation by bringing awareness to tension and offering the body pathways to relaxation and strength, and honor your self through clear boundaries and respect.
Practical tools and specific issues
Beyond categories, the site publishes articles on concrete problems. Popular and recent pieces include:
- Repair Your Reality After Gaslighting — for rebuilding trust in your own perception

There are also dedicated pages for Signs of Trauma, Testimonials, and Healing Resources.
How to browse
You have three entry points:
- By topic — use the "Articles by Topic" index to go straight to a category like Boundaries or Trauma Effects/PTSD.
- By date — use "Articles by Date" if you want the newest material first.
- Quick Links — the homepage surfaces Bookshop, Signs of Trauma, Testimonials, Healing Resources, and Latest Articles directly.
Books and referral list
The site includes a shop where the author's books can be purchased (the cart shows as empty until you add items). Because the practice is closed, the author points visitors to a practitioner referral list for finding someone to work with, and notes a return to computer programming and to Oakland, CA.
Who this resource suits
The material is written for people who feel overwhelmed after events like a car crash, childhood abuse, or a major loss, and who still experience persistent headaches, nagging injuries, troubled sleep, or ongoing anxiety and depression despite having seen a doctor or therapist and read widely. The site states it is size-friendly, diversity-friendly, queer-friendly, and trans-friendly, and welcomes people of any body size, color, sexual orientation, and gender.
If you want structured treatment or a current practitioner, this site won't provide it — the practice is closed. Use it for reading, topic-based browsing, and the referral list to find active care.
