Lifting Heavy Things

I read this book when I got my library card because it was available same-day. The book is about how trauma is stored in the body and working frozen muscles can help release the body from a freeze state and move on from a traumatic event.

The idea of the body storing trauma is one that I see mentioned a lot, but I’m not sure the way I see it being discussed is aligned with the ideas presented in this book. My main takeaway was that it’s important to establish mind-body connection and maintain mobility in your body. Doing this helps your body move on from a frozen recovery state.
