🌱 How Trauma Impacts the Body – The Science, Simplified! 🌱

Trauma isn’t just emotional—it affects your whole body. Here’s how:

🧠 Nervous System: Chronic stress overwhelms our nerves, but simple tools like deep breathing can help reset your body.

🛡️ Immune System: Stress hormones first suppress, then overstimulate immunity—this can lead to inflammation and autoimmune issues.

🧬 Cellular Level: Trauma can change how our genes are read, even impacting future generations.

💭 Neurotransmitters: Trauma disrupts brain chemicals, increasing addiction risk and lowering serotonin (hello, depression).

🎶 Brain Waves & Structure: Trauma changes brainwave patterns and brain structure, but healing and growth are possible!

🔄 Neural Pathways: Our thoughts create strong brain pathways—change is possible with practice.

💡 Hormones: Trauma spikes cortisol (stress hormone), while oxytocin (the ‘love’ hormone) helps restore balance.

🌿 Digestion & Detox: Trauma slows digestion and disrupts gut health.

The good news? Many of these effects can be reversed!

Healing means welcoming every part of you—especially the ones that feel left behind. 🧩💛

Trauma can cause the brain, mind, and body to become disconnected, leaving parts of ourselves feeling fragmented or stuck at the time the trauma occurred.

At LGP, we regularly and effectively work with “parts of self”—helping you gently reconnect, understand, and integrate all aspects of who you are. Our therapists use compassionate curiosity to tend to every part, creating a safe space for healing and wholeness.

You don’t have to push away the parts that feel scared, angry, or lost. With support, you can invite them in, listen to their stories, and move toward true integration.

Ready to meet yourself with compassion? Reach out today to learn more about our trauma-informed, parts-focused therapy.
