It highlights how perceived threats, whether psychological or physical, can lead to profound emotional and physiological responses, challenging the notion that psychological trauma is less valid. The discussion advocates for a holistic approach to understanding trauma, incorporating the significance of bodily sensations and emotional experiences in the healing process.
