Trauma doesn't always show up as a memory. Sometimes it shows up as tension you can't seem to release, anxiety that feels like it comes out of nowhere, or a body that never seems to fully relax.

In her latest blog, Registered Clinical Counsellor Jodi Bridges explores two common ways trauma can be held in the body, why these responses make sense, and how approaches like EMDR can help the nervous system process experiences that may still feel "stuck." The article also includes a simple grounding exercise you can try anytime you need to reconnect with the present.
