The Four Vulnerable Systems to Trauma
Trauma and toxic stress significantly impact four key systems in the body: the psychological, immune, neurological, and endocrine systems. The psychological aspect embodies the mind's processing of trauma, while the immune system is primarily located in the gut, where 70% of immune function occurs. The neurological system includes the central and peripheral nervous systems, which regulate responses to trauma, and the endocrine system governs hormonal balance. Understanding and measuring the dysregulation within these systems can help address the physical, emotional, and spiritual repercussions of trauma, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to healing.
