Trauma Therapy and the Nervous System: Why Your Body Holds Stress

You might have a memory that you rarely think about—a difficult childhood, a car accident, a sudden loss. Your logical mind has filed it away. You’ve “moved on.” But your body hasn’t forgotten. Your body keeps the score. It shows up as a knot in your stomach when you have to make a decision, a […]

PTSD vs Trauma: What Brooklyn Therapists Want You to Know
