I’m Julie Thomas, Director and Therapist at Beyond the Surface Counselling, and I’m here to guide you through the challenges that shape us and the tools that empower us.Today, we’re diving into a topic that affects so many of us,often in ways we don’t even realise, trauma and its impact on the body. Have you ever wondered why certain experiences leave a lasting impact, not just on your mind but also on your physical health as well? Or why you might feel tension,pain, or even exhaustion long after a stressful event has passed?In this episode, we’ll uncover the fascinating connection between trauma and the body. We’ll explore how trauma is stored, how it affects our nervous system, and why it may manifest as physical symptoms like chronic pain, digestive issues, or fatigue. Most importantly, we’ll discuss how understanding this connection may be the first step toward healing and reclaiming your sense of balance and well-being.So, whether you’re someone navigating your own healing journey, a parent supporting an anxious child, or simply curious about the mind-body connection, this episode is for you. Let’s explore the science, the stories, and the strategies that can help us move beyond the surface and into a place of hope and healing. Thank you for joining me today.
