Did you know your body can remember trauma—even if your mind doesn’t?

Studies show that trauma is often stored in the autonomic nervous system and amygdala, triggering what’s called the “anniversary effect.” As certain dates approach—like the time of year when a loss, injury, or traumatic event occurred—your body may respond with anxiety, fatigue, muscle tension, headaches, or even panic, without consciously knowing why.

This is the body’s memory at work—reacting through implicit memory stored deep in the nervous system.

🌿 Craniosacral Therapy (CST) gently supports the release of that stored tension by calming the nervous system, bringing awareness to what’s held in the body, and helping shift it out of survival mode.

✨ CST may help with:
• Anxiety and stress tied to past trauma
• Chronic pain with no clear cause
• Insomnia or emotional overwhelm
• Seasonal or unexplained mood shifts

Trauma doesn’t always speak in words—but the body remembers. And with the right support, it can also begin to release.

Studies confirm that the body and brain, particularly through the autonomic nervous system and amygdala, store trauma, often triggering physical, emotional or behavioral reactions around the anniversary of a traumatic event. Known as the “anniversary effect”, this phenomenon also manifests as sudden anxiety, panic, physical pain (headaches, stomach aches), and flashbacks, even if the conscious mind has forgotten the exact date.

🗂️Key Aspects of Body Memory and Trauma Anniversaries:

📑The “Anniversary Effect”: The body and nervous system can trigger reactions such as increased adrenaline, muscle tension, or fatigue, upon approaching a date associated with a past trauma.

📑Implicit Memory: Trauma is often stored as implicit (unconscious) memories in the brain and nervous system, which means it influences behavior and physical sensations without conscious awareness.

📑Physical Symptoms: Instead of, or in addition to, conscious memories, trauma may surface as panic attacks, insomnia, heart problems, fatigue, dissociation, anxiety, depression, and even physical pain.

📑Biological Mechanism: Traumatic events can keep the nervous system on “high alert” (survival mode), causing the body to react to cues - including seasonal or calendar markers-as if the danger is happening again.

📑Long-Term Impact: If unaddressed, this body memory can lead to, or worsen, chronic health conditions such as autoimmune issues, cardiovascular problems, or immune system suppression.

What does Craniosacral Therapy feel like?

During a CST session, people often experience a wide range of gentle, sensory responses—each one a sign that the body is beginning to unwind and heal.

✨ You might feel:
• Deep relaxation
• Subtle pulsations
• A warm or cool sensation
• “Pins and needles”
• Emotions, memories, or even colors
• Or… you may just fall asleep! 😴

Every body responds in its own unique way. What they all have in common? A chance to pause, reset, and let go.

Anxiety is strange and complex. It is, however, rooted in physiological responses inside us. Anxiety is much more than faulty emotion circuits. We can learn to reframe sensations and be free to respond differently, using simple tools and practices.

In times like these, it’s key that you consistently put down some roots and find ways to wake your body up.

Grounding is about creating safety and connection in the present moment. And, essentially, grounding is about connection with the body.

Many people are experiencing more anxiety than usual with all of the global challenges we face.

Whether you’d like some guidance for your own anxiety, or you’re working with people who need extra support, the practice of grounding can help you to create more freedom and ease.

A Prayer to Saint Dymphna for Crippling Anxiety

Saint Dymphna,
beloved daughter of God and gentle protector of troubled minds,
we come to you carrying fear we can barely explain.

Some of us wake up already exhausted.
Some of us can’t breathe through the panic.
Some of us smile on the outside while our hearts race in silence.
Some of us are holding on by a thread.

Saint Dymphna, you know this pain.
You know what it is to live with fear pressing in,
to feel unsafe inside your own thoughts,
to carry wounds that others cannot see.

We ask you—please—intercede for us.

Pray for our minds when anxiety takes over.
Pray for our bodies when panic feels unbearable.
Pray for our hearts when we feel trapped, hopeless, or overwhelmed.

Intercede for our loved ones who suffer quietly,
for those afraid to ask for help,
for those whose anxiety has become crippling,
for those who feel so tired they wonder if they can keep going.

Wrap us in God’s peace when our thoughts spiral.
Calm the storms inside us when we cannot calm them ourselves.
Help us remember that fear does not define us
and that this suffering is not the end of our story.

Saint Dymphna,
stand beside us in the darkest moments.
Ask God to strengthen us when we feel weak,
to protect us when our minds feel unsafe,
and to give us the courage to seek help, healing, and rest.

Remind us that we are not broken.
Remind us that we are not alone.
Remind us that God is near—even here.

We place ourselves, and those we love, into your care.
Intercede for us now and always.

Amen.

"She’s given me my life back—multiple times."

Angelique has been seeing Myra since 2007, after a serious accident involving an 18-wheeler left her with debilitating back and hip pain.

"I was 29, frustrated, and out of options. My pain management doctor had tried everything and finally said, 'Go see Myra. She’s a voodoo Cajun woman.' I told her that—and let’s just say, she wasn’t thrilled with the nickname. But wow… Myra knows what she’s doing."

Through Craniosacral Therapy, Myra helped her heal when nothing else worked. "She put me back together then—and several times since."

When asked what she’d change about the experience?
"Clone her."

✨ “Craniosacral Therapy is subtle but powerful. Myra is a modern-day traiteuse. Get it straight, Doc!”

Angelique has referred many friends and family to Myra over the years—and will continue to do so with confidence.
