Midwifing Your Menopause by Feminine Attunement—A Gentle Honouring of the Rites of Passage into Menopause.

The connection between Human Design and trauma lies in how both speak to our sense of self — one maps who we are at a core energetic level, and the other reflects the ways we’ve been pulled away from that truth through life experiences. Trauma, especially when it occurs early or in relational dynamics, can deeply disrupt our connection to our body, our intuition, and our authentic way of being. Human Design offers a map back — a remembrance of who we were before the world asked us to change to feel safe, accepted, or loved.

One of the most powerful ways Human Design supports trauma healing is through the understanding of conditioning. Trauma often gets embedded in the open centers of the Human Design chart — these are the places where we are most sensitive to others and most likely to take on what isn’t ours. For example, someone with an open Solar Plexus may have learned to avoid conflict or suppress their emotions, while someone with an open G Center might struggle with identity or direction. Recognizing these patterns through the lens of design can bring clarity, compassion, and a sense of relief — what we’ve been carrying isn’t who we are, it’s what we adapted to.

Human Design also offers real-time tools for nervous system healing through Strategy and Authority. These are not just decision-making tools; they are embodied practices that help us regulate and return to a place of inner safety. When a Generator starts listening to their sacral “uh-huh” or “uh-uh” instead of overriding their gut, they begin to rebuild trust in their body. A Projector waiting for the right invitation begins to soften the burnout that comes from overgiving. These design-based choices often counteract the very survival strategies we adopted through trauma — people-pleasing, overachieving, hiding, or freezing.

Additionally, Human Design allows us to understand the people around us — parents, partners, children — in a more nuanced way. When we can see their chart and how they are wired, it becomes easier to understand why certain patterns played out. This doesn’t excuse harm, but it can soften long-held pain. For example, realizing that your emotionally unavailable parent had an undefined Solar Plexus and didn’t know how to hold space can help you stop internalizing their lack of attunement as a reflection of your worth.

Each design brings its own sensitivities, and its own healing needs. Manifestors often carry trauma from being shut down or controlled and may need to reclaim their voice and sense of impact. Reflectors need sacred slowness to feel and integrate in their own timing. Those with a defined Spleen may need help releasing unsafe attachments, even when they “feel familiar.” Human Design doesn’t just show us who we are — it also gives insight into how we’ve been wounded, and how to heal in ways that honor our uniqueness.

In essence, Human Design is a trauma-aware tool that helps us return to ourselves. It shows us how our body, energy, and essence were designed to move through the world before survival patterns took over. It helps us gently release what is not ours, and re-attune to the deep wisdom that’s been within us all along.
