Defining Trauma and the Body's Role

Trauma is viewed as an injury or wound in contrast to the diagnostic label of PTSD. Trauma, discovered through somatic experiencing, is seen as an occurrence in the body, impacting emotional well-being and relationships. Somatic experiencing explores how injuries manifest and focuses on healing them. The body's role in trauma is emphasized, highlighting the connection between brain recognition of injury, gut reactions, and the profound impact of physical sensations in trauma healing.
