Body Remembers Trauma: Cut the Crap and Start Healing

When the body remembers trauma, it rarely whispers.
Instead, it punches. It flares. It warns.

Because the body remembers long before the mind dares to.
It reacts while you’re still rationalizing. While you’re still making excuses.

Cut the Crap

I remember them stumbling.
Like rollie-pollies knocked off balance.
It wasn’t a joke. It never was.

There were slurred words. Staggering steps.
Sudden mood swings disguised as play.
But what disturbed me most was the creeping — the proximity.

Ever sensed a shift in the air?
That subtle static that prickles your skin before anything happens?

They’d say your name with syrup in their voice.
Too sweet. Too stretched. Just wrong.

They lingered.
Uninvited, their hands reached.
Laughter followed — too loud, too long.

You froze.
Your throat closed.
Still, your body screamed.

“Let your thudding be a war drum. Let it beat for you.”

The Rise

That wasn’t affection.
And it sure as hell wasn’t your fault.

Stop wrapping it in nostalgia.
Don’t add filters to pain just to ease someone else’s discomfort.
And let’s not call it survival when it was dissociation.Start Healing

Don’t do it for their apology.
>Don’t wait for a courtroom statement.
>Don’t do it just to be believed.

Heal because your nervous system deserves regulation.
Because your inner child deserves peace.
And because no one else is coming to do it for you.

Time to Cut the Crap

This is your permission slip.

Write what hurts.
Then burn the letters.
Or scream into water.
Therapy the hell out of it.
Name it.

Because when the body remembers trauma — we don’t deny it anymore.
We answer it. With truth.
