It’s not only the event—it’s how your mind and body responded to it.
1
Trauma is stored in the nervous system, not just in memory. It’s a physiological imprint.
2
Trauma occurs when something is too much, too fast, or too soon for us to process.
3
Early neglect, emotional invalidation, or abuse can shape lifelong trauma patterns.
4
Trauma isn’t always dramatic. Subtle emotional wounds can be just as damaging.
5
Even if you forget, your body reacts—through anxiety, tension, or shutdown.
6
Healing begins when you feel safe—internally and externally.
7
Supportive relationships help rewire the brain and restore trust.
