Trauma and Abuse impact our nervous system, cardiovascular system, our biochemistry, as well as our muscles. We become vulnerable to health concerns including fibromyalgia, cancer, infections, and Chronic Fatigue. As we heal our lives, emotions, and personality, we also need to help our body's recovery.  Dr. Van Der Kolk, world-renowned trauma specialist explains that the body's health tracks the trauma, remembering each event physiologically.  So, we need to help our body's heal.
