A crappy childhood or difficult event may mean you don’t feel great sometimes, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Traumas get ‘trapped’, or ‘stuck’, in our bodies when we don’t have a way to discharge them safely, (ie most of us). This is how chronic stress and trauma manifest.

More than 70% of people report experiencing a traumatic event or experience in their lifetime, and those with high levels of trauma experience depression, chronic illness at higher rates than those who do not.
