While healing from trauma may seem challenging, it is important to acknowledge our resilience and embrace our ability to restore balance to a dysregulated nervous system. When seeking help for trauma, many are distressed to learn that trauma alters the brain. While that is a hard truth, it is key to understanding the brain’s neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is what allows the brain to create new pathways and connections. So, while your brain’s makeup may have changed, it can also change again. In other words, healing is possible.
