Trauma is what happens when something overwhelms your ability to cope, leaving a lasting imprint on your mind, body, and nervous system.

It isn’t just about the event itself—it’s about how your system experiences and holds onto it.

Two people can go through the same event and have completely different responses. Why? Because trauma isn’t just the external event—it’s how our nervous system, body, and heart experienced it in that moment

It’s the overwhelm that couldn’t be processed.
It’s the emotions that got trapped instead of released.
It’s the way our system holds on—long after the world has moved on

Here’s how it works:

Overwhelm: Trauma often comes from experiences that feel life-threatening, unsafe, or deeply shattering (like abuse, neglect, accidents, medical procedures, or even ongoing stress).

Stored in the Body: Instead of moving through the stress cycle, the nervous system gets stuck in survival mode—fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.

Lasting Effects: This can show up as flashbacks, hypervigilance, anxiety, numbness, emotional triggers, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others.

Not Just “In Your Head”: Trauma is as much physiological as it is psychological. The body keeps the memory, often long after the mind tries to forget.

In short: Trauma is the lasting impact of overwhelming experiences that your body and mind couldn’t fully process at the time.

The good news? Healing is possible. You can learn to understand your nervous system, release what’s been held inside, and rise stronger than before.

That’s why we created the Rise Up From Trauma Conference—a space filled with tools, insights, and practices to help you move from surviving to thriving.
