Ohio Pen - Your Bones Are Talking. Are You Listening?

Trending...

In her provocative new book Wise Bones: Accessing Ancient Bone Intelligence for Healing and Aliveness, trauma therapist and somatic guide Connie Lawrence explores the evolutionary intelligence within women's bodies and the signals we may have.

CLEVELAND - OhioPen -- The clenched jaw. The knot in your stomach. The tension that won't go away. The feeling that something is wrong even when everyone says everything is fine.

What if the body isn't overreacting? What if it's reporting?

For more than twenty years as a trauma therapist, Lawrence has watched people question physical and emotional responses that may be trying to protect them. Her understanding became personal when she found herself in a relationship in which her mind kept making excuses while her body kept sending signals.

Her mind questioned. Her body knew.

That experience sent Lawrence deeper into somatic healing and evolutionary science, exploring how the body communicates before the mind has found the words.

At the heart of Wise Bones is a radical reframe:

Women's bodies are not the problem. They are the messengers.

Women are told they are too sensitive, too emotional, or overreacting. Wise Bones invites women to reconsider women's intuition and embodied wisdom not as something to overcome, but as forms of intelligence with deep evolutionary roots.

What Is Your Body Trying to Tell You?

Wise Bones challenges the approach of silencing uncomfortable sensations and emotions. Anger. Fear. Grief. A tightening throat. A turning stomach.

Instead of asking, How do I make this go away? Lawrence asks a different question:

What is my body trying to tell me?

Drawing on anthropology, somatics, personal stories, and therapeutic work, Lawrence explores how ancient human bodies evolved through connection, caregiving, and cooperation—and why women developed ways of reading the environment that helped keep humans alive.

The "bones" in Wise Bones are more than a metaphor. They are evidence. Ancient bones and archaeological discoveries are revealing women's roles in the ancient world—and how women's ways of knowing may have been central to human survival.
