One of the greatest and most painful side effects of trauma and toxic shame is the belief that our bodies are to blame for our suffering, when the truth is our bodies did exactly what was needed to survive. They did their best carrying the pain until we came to a place where it could be processed. As our pain arises, we may see this as our bodies betraying us, but I'd like to invite you to see this as your body's invitation to unburden itself of accumulated loss and unprocessed trauma. Our bodies want to heal.
