The Body Heals the Score for Trauma Survivors: Healing the Nervous System and Reclaiming Self After Trauma

The anxiety that won't go away.
The emotional numbness you can't explain.
The deep exhaustion that lives in your bones, no matter how much you rest.
You may not have the words for what happened.
But your nervous system never stopped keeping the score.
The Body Heals the Score for Trauma Survivors is your guide to reclaiming safety, presence, and identity after trauma-through the powerful, science-backed lens of nervous system healing.

Drawing from groundbreaking research in neurobiology, somatic therapy, and trauma-informed psychology, this book gently walks you through how trauma changes the brain and body-and how you can begin to change it back. Not by reliving the past, but by finally giving your body the safety it never had.

Inside, you'll explore:

✨Why trauma fragments memory-and how to rebuild your story

✨How emotional neglect in childhood quietly shapes adult relationships

✨The science of survival mode, dissociation, and nervous system dysregulation

✨Tools for reconnecting with your body using movement, mindfulness, and somatic practices

✨A compassionate look at therapies like EMDR and neurofeedback-what they are, how they work, and why they help

✨How to reclaim your sense of self and become the author of your own healing journey

Whether you're a trauma survivor, a mental health professional, or someone who just knows that something inside doesn't feel quite right, this book will help you feel seen-and offer a path forward that is practical, empowering, and deeply humane.

You don't have to live in reaction to your past.
You don't have to stay disconnected from your body.
And you're not broken-you're rewiring. Gently. Powerfully. For good.

Start your healing from the inside out.
Because your body hasn't given up on you-and it's time you came home to it.
