Unresolved trauma manifests in physical symptoms from "summary" of When the Body Says No by Gabor Mate
When a person experiences trauma, the effects can be far-reaching and long-lasting. Trauma is not just an emotional or psychological experience; it can also manifest physically in the body. The connection between unresolved trauma and physical symptoms is a complex and multifaceted one. The body is a highly interconnected system, where the mind and body are intimately linked. When trauma is experienced, whether it be from childhood abuse, neglect, or other significant life events, the body can react in a variety of ways. These reactions can include chronic stress, inflammation, and an overactive immune system. The body's response to trauma is a natural and adaptive process. In the short term, the body's stress response can help us cope with difficult situations and protect us from harm. However, when trauma is unresolved or unprocessed, the body can become stuck in a state of chronic stress and hyperarousal. This chronic stress can have a profound impact on our physical health. Research has shown that unresolved trauma is associated with a higher risk of chronic illnesses such as autoimmune diseases, heart disease, and cancer. The body is constantly trying to adapt to the ongoing stress of unresolved trauma, which can lead to dysregulation in various bodily systems.- And the effects of trauma can be felt in every part of our being. Our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations are all interconnected, and when trauma is left unresolved, it can manifest in physical symptoms. Paying attention to our bodies and addressing any unresolved trauma is essential for our overall health and well-being.
