#77: How trauma gets ‘stored’ in the body


Listen Later

When we go through trauma, our brains don’t function like they normally do. We shift into survival mode. Our brains direct all our mental and physical energy toward dealing with the immediate threat until it’s resolved. But it’s not only our brains that remember our trauma(s). Today, I discuss how unprocessed trauma can also get "stuck" or "stored" in our bodies and share some safe and effective ways of releasing these traumatic experiences from our body.

In this episode, you’re going to learn:

  • The primary response of the brain and body to trauma
  • What’s happening in the body during and after a traumatic experience
  • How unprocessed trauma can be released when it gets ‘stuck in the body
  • RESOURCES & LINKS:
