Trauma is often treated as purely psychological, but modern neuroscience shows us it is deeply rooted in our physiology. It’s a reordering of the nervous system.
When we are stuck in a trauma response, our body is constantly screaming “threat” to our brain. Talk therapy is vital, but sometimes you cannot talk your body out of a state of terror.
