Trauma stores in the body... the body remembers. If you have experienced past Trauma or in a traumatic situation, call and make an appointment This article does an excellent job about the research of how the body remembers and will continue to express the trauma.

Unresolved emotional trauma doesn't just linger in the mind — it embeds itself in the body.

And it reshapes how we respond to stress on a fundamental level.

Research from Harvard University reveals that chronic stress and unhealed trauma can recalibrate the nervous system, locking it into a heightened state of alert. In this state, the body becomes hyper-responsive, misinterpreting ordinary sensations as threats, which can manifest as chronic pain, tension, or inflammation, even in the absence of a clear medical cause.

This prolonged fight-or-flight response means the body remains stuck in survival mode, echoing the emotional distress that has not been fully processed. As muscles stay tense and inflammation festers, these physical symptoms become somatic expressions of unresolved psychological pain. It’s the body’s way of continuing the conversation the mind has yet to finish—an urgent signal that healing must occur not only emotionally but physically as well.

This video maybe very triggering. This is an skit on verbal/emotional abuse. They do an awesome job of showing how an abuser will use manipulation to push the abused into anger. I have not read their book. If the skit seems familiar, call and make an appointment. 6787806225

I know 2 in one day! I stumbled onto their videos. I realized I needed to share these techniques. I describe them in counseling, but seeing them in action helps understand how to apply the techniques.

Love their illustrations of how to deal with an abuser with narcissistic traits or personality.
