Learn how trauma affects the body somatically and how listening to our body is essential for healing. With Q&A.

Trauma doesn’t just live in our mind and our memories; it is stored in our muscles, our breath and heartbeat. It speaks through the body, shaping how we carry stress and how we respond to overwhelming experiences. Through the framework of Somatic Experiencing (SE), this therapeutic approach views trauma as a disruption in the nervous system’s natural rhythm.
