Reconnect with your body after trauma, pain, or shame

 

Trauma is stored in the body — not just the mind.
It can show up as tension, numbness, chronic pain, or a sense of disconnection from your physical self. Whether you feel overwhelmed, shut down, or out of sync with your body, this space supports you in rebuilding trust, safety, and presence from the inside out.

  • How trauma lives in the body and shapes physical responses

  • Common patterns of disconnection, hypervigilance, or shutdown

  • Signs of trauma-held tension vs. embodied safety
