"trauma is a psychic wound. not the event that induced the wound, but the wound itself. so trauma is not what happened, which is a good thing, because if the trauma is what happened, then there's nothing you can do about it. but if trauma is the psychic wound that is sustained internally -

that can be healed."

understanding trauma is essential to our healing.

trauma is an experience of overwhelm in response to an unexpected event resulting in a state of disconnection from oneself, others, and the world

trauma affects our physical well-being through the nervous system, which is connected to every part of the body. this means that trauma can cause almost any symptom imaginable.

when conventional medicine fails to explain or treat our symptoms, healing our nervous system may be the answer.
