The thing that people do not realize about trauma is that it cannot be "out talked" or "out thought", it lives in the BODY. Most people that I work with (including myself) have tried almost everything under the sun to work on themselves and their emotional pain/trauma but nothing seems to move the needle until they address the trauma stored in the body. The body remembers everything even if your mind forgets and this is why in my coaching practice I focus largely on the BODY. When trauma is stored in the body for too long it will start manifesting in disease, autoimmune, gut dysbiosis, skin issues, fatigue, weight gain, and more. The key to working through this is learning the tools to move it out of your body. Remember what works for one person might not work for you and that is OKAY. Your healing is unique just like YOU.   Connect with Ali: https://www.instagram.com/alikates.co/  www.alikates.co Use code CYCLICAL20 to save 20% on Ali’s program Loved this episode?
