What happens when trauma isn't just in your mind, but stored in your body? This profound conversation with Licensed Professional Counselor Brittany Banks reveals the hidden physical toll of unprocessed emotional pain and offers a roadmap for genuine healing.Brittany shares startling insights about how stress hormones physically manifest when we don't address our mental health: "Your tears actually have stress hormones in them. That's your body's way of trying to release this thing out of you." This connection between mental and physical wellbeing forms the foundation of a wide-ranging discussion that tackles everything from cultural stigmas to faith perspectives on therapy.For those raised in communities where strength means silence, Brittany redefines what resilience truly looks like. "Strength does not mean that you isolate and keep people out... It does not mean you cannot express emotion." This redefinition creates space for vulnerability as a pathway toward healing rather than a sign of weakness.Get in touch with the guest and I Ms Eve's Linktree info - https://linktr.ee/IAMMSEVE?utm_source=linktree_Brittany's Tiktok- https://www.tiktok.com/@the.cozy_place?_t=ZP-8wsDybIAXWg&_r=1Brittany's Instagram -Brittany Banks| Licensed Therapist (@the.cozy_place) • Instagram photosandvideosinstagram.com Therapy Services: w/ Brittany Banks LPC on headway - https://care.headway.co/providers/brittany-banks?utm_source=pem&utm_medium=direct_link&utm_campaign=103654Books I'm reading on my healing journey.It Didn't Start with You! - How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are by Mark WoolenPost Traumatic Slave Syndrome- Dr Joy DegruyThe Body Keeps The Score- Bessel van Der KolkSupport the show2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, who always causes us to Triumph! Support the show2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, who always causes us to Triumph!
