Anthony Goldner explains how trauma keeps people stuck replaying the past or dreading the future, trapped in their body's physiological response. He describes grounding techniques that can bring you back to the present moment when you notice yourself caught in that loop.
She actually just brought up a great point. The past to present. Obviously we're dealing with a lot of individuals who have a past, whether or not it's good, bad for you. A lot of the past is not good and that's why they're coming to you. How do you break that cycle of this happened and like always thinking of the past?
Yeah, this is exactly what trauma does is it keeps us out of the present moment and we're either replaying the past or we're future tripping. But if it's living in the body, right? If our body keeps the score, it's gonna keep replaying it out as if it's continuing to happen. So the invitation is really to again have that toolbox of this is what can bring me safely back into the present moment and into my body when I notice myself replaying the past and the future.
