How Emotional Trauma Shapes the Body’s Stress Response
How Emotional Trauma Shapes the Body’s Stress Response
Unresolved emotional trauma can reshape the body's stress response, keeping it locked in a prolonged fight-or-flight state.
Research from Harvard University has shown that chronic stress and trauma can heighten nervous system sensitivity, causing the body to misinterpret normal sensations as pain.
Over time, this can lead to persistent muscle tension and inflammation, even without an identifiable medical cause.
These physical symptoms often mirror the emotional wounds that remain unprocessed.
As a result, the body continues to express what the mind has not yet been able to heal.
