Releasing Trauma In The Body

 
 
 

The body keeps the score alright - for me it’s my belly, specifically on the left side just below my belly button.  Deep trauma that gets triggered when I eat the wrong foods (or too much), when I stretch, when I work out my core and when I’m having body dysmorphia issues.

It gets triggered when it gets unexpectedly touched.

The body keeps the score and at times it has a mind of its own: panic attacks and other symptoms occur out of my control in reaction to an external event (sound, sight, smell etc) or internal event (thoughts, memories, emotions).

If you resonate, I offer the following advice for what helps me:

  • Daily meditation, with a focus on present state awareness, mindfulness, as well as loving kindness (to self and others)

  • Writing/artistic expression

  • Exercise (any is good) but make sure you are safe - physically and mentally. If trauma issues, ensure that where you trained isn’t triggering and ideally is trauma informed

  • Therapy with a person cantered, trauma informed facilitator who won’t rush your healing

  • Support, reaching out for and accepting help is hard, but a must. Talk. Share. Connect. Laugh. Play.

  • Trust that you can heal and reintegrate - even if progress is slow

Please connect if you want further suggestions or a response to a complex and often misunderstood issue.
