Many people believe the body stores trauma and “keeps the score.”
But the body does not store memories.
The brain does.
The body simply expresses what the brain remembers.
When the brain recalls an emotional memory, the nervous system responds through the body as sensations like tension, heat, spasms, pain, or stress reactions.
Think of something happy, your body changes.
Think of something stressful, your body reacts again.
Same body.
Different memory.
Understanding this mental mechanism helps explain why emotional patterns can appear physically and why changing the memory response can change the body’s reaction.
