I had this wrong for so long…

According to Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, one of the most important voices and researchers on the science of childhood trauma:

Trauma isn’t what happened to you.

Trauma is your body’s response to what happened… and how your body keeps reacting long after the situation is over.

That’s why you can feel “fine,” but still get triggered, overwhelmed, or shut down even years later. Your system is stuck in overdrive.

In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Dr. Burke Harris explains what’s actually happening in your body – and why the way you react to stress isn't a personality flaw.

Dr. Burke Harris gives you research-backed tools that help your body, calm down, and feel safe, so stress stops driving your life.
