Ep 233: What does it really mean when we say emotion and trauma lives in the body?

Emotion. Trauma. Do they really live in the body? And, if so, what does that actually mean? Are they like little gremlins taking up residence in our tissues? Today, that's what we're diving into on SelfKind with Erica Webb (that's me!).Tune into this episode to hear:- what emotion and trauma 'in the body' actually means- what pain science teaches us about how our body remembers significant emotional events- the role of habit and efficiency in storing emotion in the body- why self-protection from emotion can show up in the body- why a mind-body approach to self-care is so important.The content I share on this platform is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
