My trauma didn’t make me strong:
It turned me into someone who’s always paranoid, anxious, and unable to relax without feeling guilty.

According to both my favourite therapist and my Craniosacral therapist (light touch therapy that releases tension in the central nervous system, and allows the other systems to relax and correct), trauma and stress can actually get stuck in our bodies, causing us to be in survival mode. And this can affect our energy and hormone levels, and create inflammation and physical tension, such as shoulder pain or jaw clenching. Stress and trauma can also cause emotional reactivity even in safe environments. The good news is that it is possible to rewire these biological patterns. I have found traditional therapy and Craniosacral therapy to be very complimentary in easing angst and anxiety. In my experience, it really is possible to put some of these burdens to rest. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
