Trauma Subconsciously Affects Communication And Connection

 

Our bodies store trauma in areas of tension, often without us realizing it. These trapped emotions—whether fear, sadness, or anger—can unconsciously block us from truly connecting with others. When trauma is held in the body, it can lead to:

• Emotional Shutdown: You might struggle to express vulnerability or feel disconnected in relationships.

• Reactivity: Stored anger or fear can make you overly reactive, causing conflicts in communication.

• Trust Issues: Old wounds may trigger mistrust, preventing you from forming deep connections.

Change Your Emotional State in 5 Minutes

​

• Find a Quiet Space: Sit comfortably and place both feet on the floor.

• Body Scan: Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Start at the top of your head and slowly scan down your body, noticing any areas of tightness or discomfort.

• Identify Emotion: As you scan, ask yourself, “What emotion is stored here?” You might feel tightness in your chest (sadness), tension in your jaw (anger), or heaviness in your stomach (fear).

• Breathe Into the Spot: Once you identify the emotion, take deep breaths and imagine sending healing energy directly into that area. Picture the tightness softening with each breath.

• Release Movement: Allow your body to move naturally—whether it's shaking out your arms, rolling your neck, or stretching—whatever feels like a natural release. Trust your body to guide you.
