7 Signs Your Body Is Releasing Trauma

Trauma is a painful word that gives chill to my soul, as I have already been there. It’s suppressed emotions, psychological wounds, and killed self-worth that sticks to your body with heavy energy and blocks your happiness.

The body stores all the pain and past experiences, which often affect your mood when something triggers your past. Unfortunately, in order to eliminate this negativity, you have to work consciously on it.

The best part is, when you become conscious about it, work to let it go, you start experiencing some signs of release. In this blog Post, I will share some of the crucial Signs Your Body Is Releasing Trauma.

7 Signs Your Body Is Releasing Trauma

1- Unexplained Physical Sensations

Trauma starts storing in your mind, and then slowly, gradually, it gets stored on your body as thick layers. You may say that it breaks your aura and makes it polluted.

When you start working on your mind and releasing trauma, you experience some physical sensations as your body starts releasing the pain and memories.

Sensations that medical science can’t explain, such as tightness in the shoulders, tingling or numbness in the limbs. Some of the most common Signs Your Body Is Releasing Trauma are sudden stiffness in muscles or a feeling of heaviness in certain areas of your life.

Sometimes you may feel heat in your heart, head or some part of your body. When your nervous system starts releasing the negative energy, it starts healing part by part.

2- Emotional Fluctuations

Trauma is nothing but your suppressed emotions, the past who have been in your mind for a long time. All those emotions of anger and pain are attached to your body.

When your trauma starts releasing, your emotions start fluctuating. You may feel happy suddenly, and the next moment it becomes sadness, anger or neutral.

You start Crying unexpectedly without a clear reason, or feel sudden anger or irritability. Anxiety may also come to you like a wave, or as I mentioned above, you may feel easy and happy sometimes.

These shifts in your emotions mean your body is breaking the layers of trauma. This sudden shift is one of the Signs Your Body Is Releasing Trauma. Therefore, try to remain silent and honour the process.

3- Changes in Sleep Patterns

Whether you are going through trauma or realizing trauma, both situations affect your sleep pattern heavily. You may experience vivid dreams, such as nightmares, and waking up in the middle of the night frequently.

Signs Your Body Is Releasing Trauma

When your body starts releasing heavy energy of trauma, you start feeling light and often wake up early in the morning. Trauma on your body means your subconscious mind has been polluted. When the fog gets clear, your mind starts working positively.

Heightened positive energy is one of the Signs Your Body Is Releasing Trauma. Try to make a sleep routine so that you can channelize your energy positively and to your maximum benefit.

4- Shifts in Energy Levels

All the living creatures carry a significant energy level around themselves. Think about a child who is always full of energy, full of life and happiness because they don’t carry any trauma or pain for a long time in their mind.

Trauma is the heavy energy that keeps growing until you release it consciously. When you are working on releasing trauma, your energy level changes mysteriously.

You may experience a sudden burst of energy or exhaustion in the next moment. One of the most common Signs Your Body Is Releasing Trauma is a sense of drained energy, especially after emotional release.

The energy gets stored in the nervous system, so when it gets released, your body might take some time to adjust with the new energy.

5- Heightened Sensory Awareness

When a person is living with trauma, there’s always a heavy sense of energy around them. Another sign of releasing trauma is that you feel a heightened energy level within you.

Signs Your Body Is Releasing Trauma

You may notice sounds, smells and insights better than other people around you. One of the significant Signs Your Body Is Releasing Trauma is heightened senses, including your physical sensations.

It’s a time when your nervous system is restoring its true vitality. The body gets attuned to your mind and thoughts together. Not to mention when the mind, body and soul are aligned, a person starts living his/her own life path.

6- Spontaneous Movements or Tremors

Life never goes smoothly because its true nature is like a heartbeat, ups and downs are part of life. However, it looks more painful when you have already gone through it for a long time.

When the trauma begins to release, you may feel light and energetic and suddenly you may feel depressed. Some signs may appear on your physical level, and other people can also sense it.

Sometimes you may shake or tremble without a clear reason, and feel muscle pain as well. In other words, stretching, twisting and spontaneous body movements can become normal for you. However, it’s all temporary as your body is adjusting to new and fresh energy.

One of the crucial Signs Your Body Is Releasing Trauma is that you may be drawn to physical activities naturally to adjust the energy. Physical activities such as yoga, dance or workout help you release negativity and adjust positive and fresh energy.

7- Digestive and Gut Changes

One of the most common and early signs of trauma is disturbed indigestion. Your digestive system and your brain start giving you signs that things are not going well.

Signs Your Body Is Releasing Trauma

There are two ways your body responds to trauma: either you start eating more, or you barely eat. In both ways, your digestive system is getting weaker.

When your body starts releasing long-term trauma, you will experience amazing relief in your digestive system. One of the main Signs Your Body Is Releasing Trauma is that your stomach feels light and you start eating properly.

Released trauma organically aligns your eating habits, drinking, balanced nutrition, and navigates your mind, body and soul in the right direction.

1- Can you heal yourself from trauma?

The straight answer to your question is a big “Yes”. You can heal yourself from any trauma with extra efforts, spending time with yourself and working on yourself.

You can journal your journey, express your thoughts and check your progress every day. Practice self-care things like dancing, painting, meditation, breathing and so on. These activities fasten your healing journey and help you balance your energy in this journey.

Final Words: Your body is the first temple that needs to be taken care of by you. Getting into trauma means you neglected your body. When you start taking care of your body, it starts aligning with your life path and invites healthy things, people and situations in your life.

Honoring your body, practicing Yoga, aerobics, dancing, or simply breathing, done directly, will easily release everything that’s unhealthy for you.

Remember that healing doesn’t happen in one day. Most importantly, it’s never a smooth road. Keep working on yourself and know in your heart that you are improving day by day.
