Healing from Trauma
Trauma lives in the body, not just the mind. Your Daily® offers gentle, body-based practices to help you process and heal.
Understanding Trauma Responses
Trauma can show up in many ways:
- Feeling easily triggered or on edge
- Difficulty trusting or connecting with others
- Feeling numb or disconnected from your body
- Overwhelming emotions that come out of nowhere
- Physical symptoms like tension, pain, or digestive issues
- Difficulty relaxing or feeling safe
These aren't character flaws - they're your nervous system trying to protect you based on past experiences.
