Our personal experiences and traumas can often leave a deep imprint on our physical and mental bodies, separating us from ourselves and our environment while impacting our sense of self, safety, and trust. The trauma symptoms can trigger painful memories from the past and take us away from the present moment. The struggle to maintain our daily activities and cope with stress can be overwhelming, impacting all areas of our lives. The practice of being present and aware of our experiences inside and outside of our bodies and in relationships with others can foster the integration of the parts that are separated due to trauma.
