Trauma, anxiety, and other emotions can get trapped in your body. Essentially, emotions can get stored in your autonomic nervous system response. Your nervous system has two responses: the sympathetic response and the parasympathetic response. Both serve an important function in helping you process through intense emotions like trauma and anxiety. But when we interfere with our natural ability to calm down, those emotions can get trapped in the body. So it’s important to learn how to release emotions trapped in your body and to heal stress, anxiety, and trauma through the body.
