If you’ve been through something hard, and now feel foggy, anxious, or on edge…
That’s not random.
It’s your brain doing what it thinks it has to do to protect you.
👉 Here’s how trauma actually rewires your brain — and how to calm it
Trauma doesn’t just affect your emotions.
It physically changes your brain.
Your internal “alarm” gets stuck on.
Your memory gets scrambled.
And the part that helps you think clearly or stay calm? It slows down.
This can show up as snapping, zoning out, avoiding things, or feeling numb.
It’s frustrating!

- Which parts of the brain change (and what that means)
- What kinds of therapy and tools actually help
Understanding what’s happening inside your brain won’t fix everything.
But it can help take the shame out of it—and show you a path forward.
