I’m told that trauma lives in the body/ANS but if this is so why does my head feel so busy?
I can sort of get behind the idea of the whole nervous system thing and I have been pointed towards books to read but if everywhere says trauma lives in the body, why does the anxiety also feel all in my head? I’m Just constantly catastrophizing, worrying, telling myself I’m worthless /crap / not going to get the job I’m looking for / ugly etc etc. thinking about difficult experiences I had during adolescence….It’s exhausting…. i’m not sure how working on my nervous system can help my head.
Is there anyone else here who can help explain it to me?
