Many people, even those in the healing profession, do not understand the profound and long lasting effects of trauma. Physical, emotional and mental trauma can travel deep into our unconscious and affect the body, mind, emotions and spirit. It can find its way into our anatomy and thus our cells, muscles and tissues and psyche, as it does in post-traumatic stress disorder.
Trauma may last indefinitely in energetic layers that may be slowly released through years of healing.
