What Does "Get In Your Body" Mean?

Choose To Be with Choose Recovery Services; Betrayal Trauma Healing

Your body is keeping secrets - traumatic memories and intense emotions locked away at a cellular level. In this episode, Amie and Alana dive into the science of how the body “keeps the score,” storing experiences that your conscious mind has disconnected from. Learn how to unlock your body’s innate wisdom to truly heal.

Listen to learn:

• How emotions and memories are stored in the body, not just the brain

• The science behind why the body “keeps the score” on traumatic events
