Trauma & the Nervous System: Why Your Body Remembers What Your Mind Forgets

By Dr. Yasmin Salleh

Trauma is not defined by what happened, but by how it reshaped the nervous system.

This article will introduce the foundations of trauma-informed care - including neurobiology, attachment, regulation, and the slow rebuilding of safety inside the body.

It will explore how symptoms often reflect adaptations rather than failures, and how healing becomes possible when people are met with respect, attunement, and a sense of control in their own process.
