When Trauma is Left Aside

Emotions turn into thoughts, turn into vision, vision into words, words into physical manifestation.

We often forget the power that we hold into creating our reality.

But after susto or trauma occurs, the world gets experienced through a different nervous system. When you’re traumatized or your system is trauma-wired, it’s hard to get into a creative flow or creative state of mind.

You disconnect from your body and your spirit fragments.

On a 3D level, the body becomes constantly guarded, alarmed and alerted. 

The statement that traumatized individuals lose their bodies to trauma is quite accurate.

A traumatized individual loses touch with its senses and its whole system gets impaired.

The job of our brain is to ensure our survival even under threat. 

When our brain alarm, the amygdala, goes off from a trigger, our emotional brain takes over, our higher brain, our conscious mind, partially shuts down. Our body then preps for a trauma response such as to run, hide, fight, freeze, fawn or collapse.

What begins to happen during the body’s trauma responses is that the body’s endocrine system responds, adrenaline shoots up, cortisol shortly after, heart rate changes, breathing changes, blood pressure changes, etc… Resulting with the whole system being compromised.

Trauma often doesn’t come as memories. It comes as reactions and triggers, and in the longterm, shows up as chronic illnesses.

The job of our brain is to ensure our survival even under threat.

When a trauma or a susto hasn’t been resolved and gets stored in the body, the brain then keeps sending signals to escape a threat that sometimes no longer exists; but has been imprinted instead.

This chronic constant activation of stress responses causes many health problems in the long run due to how much the body is being overworked. 

It is critical for a trauma treatment to treat the entire organism such as mind, body, and brain along with the energy attached to it.

In my personal and professional opinion it’s critical for the body to do the releases and for the energy to be cleared. Your body needs to be given the chance to “react” to the trauma and process it in safe conditions so that it can be resolved, released and not get stored again. 

To heal trauma we have to go in and do the processing on the subconscious level while simultaneously do the release of energies with the physical body. 

When it comes to trauma, no amount of thinking better thoughts will heal it. Trauma doesn’t reside in the front of the brain. 

Trauma is stored in deeper waters.

To assess these deeper regions of the brain we have to lower your brain waves and make the subconscious part of your brain active and awake.

Not only trauma is stored there, but your entire childhood from before your birth all until you were about 7 or 8. 

If you experienced trauma as a child and did not have the support to navigate through it, chances are it automatically went in your subconscious brain, your programming, without you potentially knowing then or now about it. 

So yes it would make sense that you could have trauma stored in you without having any recognition of it and you could have triggers that you have no logical explanations for. 

To get back into a creative flow, the body needs to let go. And in order for the body to let go, it needs to feel safe to do so. 

Results from the stimulation of the vagus nerve have proven to be effective in the treatment of trauma and chronic illnesses. Meditation, breathing exercises, energy healings, yoga and cold therapy are all effective ways to stimulate your vagus nerve. In stimulating your vagus nerve, you are activating your relaxed response, making your parasympathetic system dominant and allowing your body to rest, digest and heal itself.
