Have you ever wondered why animals, after constantly fighting to stay alive, are never traumatized? The whole animal kingdom would not be what it is today if this were the case. Like, Tom & Jerry would have been a completely different show. So why is it that animals never seem to internalize their trauma, but we humans do?
Animals, after tapping into that sympathetic nervous system and initiating the fight or flight response, make their way to a safe place and discharge all of that energy that was needed to get them to safety. Turns out, we humans also have this same capacity to discharge all of that generated energy after experiencing trauma. The only difference is either we haven’t figured out a way to release said energy or our bodies still detect a threat.
You’re probably like “Okay, great…then what do I do now?”
