How Trauma Reshapes Your Nervous System

You can often tell there’s unresolved trauma in your nervous system when your reactions don’t match the moment. You might shut down, become overly nice to keep the peace, lash out, disappear, or cut people off completely. You avoid conflict not because you don’t care, but because your body is protecting you the only way it knows how. These are not flaws. They are survival strategies. They are trauma responses. The healing begins when you notice these patterns and approach them with curiosity instead of shame. Feel into the tightness, the restlessness, the numbness. Notice the thoughts that flood in and the stories they tell. Do it with compassion. Do it gently. I’ve had to work through this in my own body, my own story. It’s not easy, but it is possible. Having a guide who understands the terrain can make all the difference.
