ADRIAN — This week in Lenawee, local educator and author Dr. Sonja L. Howell joined us to talk about her new book Feel It: Wake Up From the Lull and the science behind emotional numbness.
Howell explained what she calls “the lull,” why many people shut down as a form of survival, and how identifying triggers can stop trauma cycles in families, schools, and communities.
She also shared ongoing work to build a local space for writing and healing, including efforts to bring a Writers on the River event to Adrian.
