Childhood and generational trauma leave more than just emotional scars: they leave imprints etched on the body and nervous system. This article explores how to recognize trauma's hidden patterns and how to heal using a holistic, multi-prong approach. These ideas come from my book, Holistic Trauma Healing: Strategies to Integrate the Body, Mind, and Spirit.
