Action Trauma Theory

Action Trauma Theory suggests that traumatic events are stored in our body as unresolved physical memories, which can influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors long after the event. These unresolved sensations and reactions can be triggered in everyday situations, leading to stress or emotional difficulties. The theory emphasizes the importance of connection between mind and body, proposing that healing involves engaging with and releasing these stored physical responses. By addressing both the emotional and physical aspects of trauma, individuals can work toward recovery and regain a sense of stability.
