The way out is in. Trauma can change the way you feel about, and in, your body. During a traumatic experience, your body tries to keep you safe, courageously and imperfectly attempting to manage the unmanageable by working to separate you from danger and pain. Even if you understand why something happened, how it happened, and what to do if it happens again, it can still be difficult to move on because your body remembers - and it reminds you again and again through deeply physical symptoms. Considering this, your body may be your most valuable resource in recovery.
