That’s not just stress. That’s your body holding a grudge. And honestly? It’s been storing those grudges for years. Here’s the deal: your […]
Trauma lives in the body. That’s not a metaphor—it’s a physiological fact. When you experience something overwhelming, your nervous system locks into survival mode. Fight, flight, or freeze.
