Trauma stored in the body

Unprocessed trauma lives in the nervous system and musculature as tension, constriction, numbness, or hypervigilance—memories encoded not as story but as body state. Somatic practices, breath work, and vagal regulation help discharge this stored activation and renegotiate the body's safety, not by processing trauma cognitively but by changing how the nervous system responds to memory.
