Deep dives

Understanding Trauma: The Impact on the Nervous System

Trauma, whether big or small, affects our nervous system, influencing our immune, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems, emotional and energy bodies. The body stores trauma in various ways, such as through bracing or tension in specific areas like the fascia. To heal and move forward, the goal is to integrate somatic experiences with cognitive understanding, allowing for effective processing and reevaluation of traumatic memories.
