Feeling stuck?
Living with trauma can feel like you’re trapped in a cycle your mind understands, but your body won’t let go of.
You may be doing “all the right things” — praying, journaling, talking it out, even going to therapy — and still feel triggered, overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally shut down. That’s because trauma doesn’t only live in your thoughts. Trauma lives in the nervous system.
And when your nervous system is still on alert, it can feel like you’re always bracing for something — even when nothing is happening.
This is why trauma symptoms often show up as:
-
chronic body tension or pain
-
anxiety or panic responses
-
difficulty sleeping or staying asleep
-
feeling constantly on edge or emotionally shut down
-
irritability, reactivity, or sudden overwhelm
-
feeling disconnected from yourself or others

Many people don’t realize they’re dealing with trauma symptoms because it doesn’t always look like flashbacks or start with the typical events like sexual abuse or physical abuse.
It can look like:
-
people-pleasing, perfectionism, or over-functioning
-
feeling numb, disconnected, or emotionally “flat”
-
trouble sleeping, nightmares, or waking up tired
-
chronic tension in the body (tight chest, jaw, shoulders, stomach)
-
feeling unsafe in relationships — even when someone hasn’t done anything wrong
-
intrusive memories or racing thoughts
- trouble with authority or communicating needs without hurting others
You may look “high-functioning” on the outside, but inside, you feel exhausted. On edge. Guarded. Or like you’re only half-living.
You deserve more than survival mode.
