What Is Trauma? How It Lives in the Body and Nervous System

Episode Description:

In this episode, we explore what trauma actually is, beyond the idea of “big” or obvious events. Trauma is defined by how the nervous system responds, not by how something looks from the outside. We discuss how trauma can live in the body, shape emotional responses, and influence health and relationships.

This episode offers a compassionate, non-pathologizing framework for understanding trauma that helps listeners recognize their experiences without shame.
