In this episode of The Unashamedly Human Podcast, Jacquie Forde digs into the science of stored trauma and how our bodies act as advanced storage systems for emotions, stress, and trauma. Your muscles, fascia, and nervous system hold onto everything you've experienced, whether you remember it or not.
Jacquie explains that our bodies often store unresolved trauma as physical tension, chronic pain, or even digestive issues. Jacquie shares insights on the three principles of mind, consciousness, and thought, pioneered by Sydney Banks. She explains how our experience of trauma is driven by our thoughts and how reframing these thoughts can lift the emotional weight of trauma.
The episode also explores somatic therapies like somatic experiencing, EMDR, yoga, and breathwork, which help the body release stuck energy without cognitively revisiting the trauma.
