The Root Cause of Trama

Most people think trauma is caused by what happened to them.

It’s not.

Trauma forms when the nervous system is overwhelmed and left alone—when there is no safety, no regulation, and no one to help process what’s happening in the moment.

That’s why trauma isn’t stored as a story. It’s stored as patterns in the body.

In this episode, we explore the real root cause of trauma, why insight alone doesn’t heal it, and why so many people feel stuck even after years of self-work, therapy, or spiritual practice.

This is not about reliving the past. It’s about understanding how the nervous system learned to survive—and what it actually needs in order to let go.

If you’ve ever wondered: – Why you can’t just “move on” – Why healing feels slow or exhausting – Why old patterns keep repeating – Or why pressure makes things worse, not better
