Trauma and the Brain Articles

Trauma fundamentally changes how our brains operate, creating neural pathways that keep us locked in patterns long after the original threat has passed. These pathways don't just influence our thoughts—they dictate our relationships, career decisions, and self-worth. At Alyse Breathes, I approach trauma not as something to manage or cope with, but as patterns that can be completely dissolved at their source. The articles in this collection examine how trauma manifests in your brain, body, and relationships, and provide clear, actionable insights for permanent transformation rather than temporary symptom relief. Unlike traditional approaches that address only surface behaviors, my methodology targets the exact origin points in your neural circuitry where these patterns began, creating lasting freedom instead of endless coping mechanisms.
