EMDR, The Body Score, and How Trauma Affects the Body

If you’ve ever wondered how trauma affects the body, this episode will change the way you understand your symptoms. You might know you’re safe now, yet your body still reacts as if danger is everywhere. Racing heart. Tense muscles. Broken sleep. Sudden panic or numbness. This isn’t weakness, and it isn’t “all in your head.” In this episode of Don’t Get a Therapist Yet, I explore how trauma affects the body through the nervous system, why talking alone doesn’t always calm physical symptoms, and how EMDR therapy can help the body finally stand down from survival mode. You’ll learn: Why trauma is stored as body responses, not just memories Common physical signs trauma can leave behind What “the body keeps the score” really means in real life How EMDR works with the brain and body, not just thoughts Why recovery often involves the nervous system, not willpower This episode is for anyone living with ongoing stress responses after trauma, feeling confused by physical symptoms, or curious about trauma-focused therapy options.

When I was 16 I was about to go into school and take a mock GCSE ‘O’ level in Art. Just an ordinary day? No. For some reason I did not feel I could go in. The problem was that I really had to. So I froze on the spot – severe anxiety. Panic. As I did not understand what was happening to me – I was very frightened. I kept thinking “What is wrong with me?” “I’m going mad!” So these thoughts just made me even worse. I hated myself – the self loathing was extreme. It was so much that I wanted to take my anger out on myself so I got very drunk and cut my wrists. My mother found me unconscious on the floor and took me to A&E where they bandaged my wrists. I had work in the evening and my mum insisted I went. I had to come up with an unlikely story that I had burned myself and that was why my wrists were bandaged. After that I felt different and vulnerable. I have then spent my life working on my own mental health to the point where I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and EMDR therapist.
