In this short clip from the full interview: EP 019 – “Dr. Guy Macpherson, Ph.D.: What is Psychological Trauma and How to Heal It,” Dr. Guy Macpherson, Ph.D. explains how trauma can remain trapped inside the body.
Our bodies and emotions can only safely handle a limited amount of stress. Trauma results whenever an experience exceeds our abilities to handle and cope with its consequences.

That energy of the trauma is stored in the tissues of our body until it can be released. The main problem, as Dr. Macpherson points out, is that people often do not release this trauma and walk around for years and even live an entire lifetime with it.

However, trauma can be healed. If you would like to learn more about psychological trauma and how to heal it, be sure to listen to the full interview we did on The IPS Podcast with Dr. Guy Macpherson, Ph.D. You can find it here: theipsproject.com/2019/08/what-is-psychological-trauma
