Trauma isn’t just what happened to you—it’s what happened inside you as a result. It’s not just a memory in your mind; it’s a pattern your body holds, shaping the way you move through the world long after the moment has passed. If you’ve ever felt anxious for no clear reason, struggled to set boundaries, or found yourself shutting down in conflict, that’s not just "who you are"—it’s your nervous system running an old survival pattern.
