What Even Is Trauma? (It’s Probably Not What You Think)
Trauma isn’t just what happened to you—it’s what happened inside of you because of it. Using the somatic wisdom of Peter Levine and Janina Fisher, this post unpacks what trauma actually is, how it gets stored in our bodies, and why you might be reacting to “small” stuff in “big” ways. We'll explore the difference between Big-T and little-t trauma, and how therapy can help untangle survival responses that feel stuck on loop.
