In our last post, we touched upon how our body and mind hold onto the very thing they need to let go.  Before we start the second part of this series, I want to invite you to think about what stress means and what kind of cause and effect it has in your life. 

If you’ve ever thought, “I should be over this by now” or “Why does my body react this way even when I know I’m safe?” you’re not alone. As a counsellor, this is something I hear often.
Trauma doesn’t just live in our memories, it lives in the body. Even after we’ve talked about it or tried to make sense of it, our nervous system might still be holding onto the effects of what happened.
