Trauma Is Not Just What Happened – It’s How You Internalised It and Hold It 

The emotional impact lasts longer than the event itself. 

We often misunderstand trauma. We imagine it as a catastrophic event an accident, an assault, a moment of violence or heartbreak. But the truth is, trauma isn’t just the event itself. It’s the way your nervous system reacted to that moment. It’s the way your body froze, your mind disassociated, your heart constructed walls to feel safe. Trauma isn’t just what happened. 

It’s what stayed with you long after it was over

You may not consciously remember every detail of what occurred, but your body does. It remembers the sharpness in someone’s voice, the sudden fear of not being seen, the moment you realized you were alone in your pain. These aren’t just memories they are internalized experiences woven into your nervous system. 

And the deeper truth? You carry those experiences every day. In how you breathe. In how close you let people get. In how you react when you’re triggered. 
This is what trauma really is: 

  • An invisible imprint on your body, mind, and spirit. 

Trauma Lives in the Body and Nervous System 

Your nervous system is your internal alarm system. When trauma happens especially in childhood it reshapes the way your system functions. You may live in a constant state of hypervigilance, anxiety, or emotional numbness. Your body, in an effort to protect you, holds onto that trauma creating a loop of emotional reactivity and physical tension that feels like your normal. 

You may find yourself: 

  • Overreacting to small triggers. 
  • Feeling exhausted even when you’ve done nothing. 
  • Avoiding relationships out of fear of getting hurt. 
  • Being unable to express your needs because once, asking led to rejection. 

These aren’t flaws in your character. They are symptoms of survival. They are adaptive responses not weaknesses.

Traditional therapy can offer insight and awareness. But awareness is only one part of the journey. The real healing happens when your body starts to feel safe again. When you don’t just talk about the pain you allow it to move through and out of you. 

Healing Is About Releasing, Not Only Remembering 

The narrative around trauma often focuses on “talking about it.” While verbal processing is a powerful tool, it can only take you so far. At a certain point, it becomes necessary to go deeper to move from cognitive awareness to embodied release. 

This is the cornerstone of Uzma Naqvi’s approach to healing. As a trauma-informed holistic transformational life coach, Uzma combines evidence-based techniques with intuitive insight to guide individuals through the four modules of emotional transformation: 

  1. Recognizing the trauma not just intellectually, but emotionally and physically. 
  2. Understanding how it shaped your beliefs, behaviors, and self-worth. 
  3. Releasing the stored energy from your body through somatic tools. 
  4. Reclaiming your power, your identity, and your wholeness. 

      Uzma’s work is rooted in compassion, spirituality, and deep emotional safety. Her clients are not just taught to remember what happened they are empowered to release what no longer serves them. 

      Whether it’s unresolved childhood pain, grief, abandonment, or emotional neglect, Uzma creates a sacred space for you to confront your past with courage, grace, and compassion. Her coaching isn’t about “fixing” you it’s about reminding you that you were never broken. 

      Healing Is a Homecoming 

      Many people see healing as a destination a final point they must reach. But healing, as Uzma often says, is not a destination. It’s a homecoming to yourself and to Allah SWT. 

      It’s a return to the self that existed before the wounds. A self that was radiant, open-hearted, intuitive, and whole. That self still lives within you. It has simply been buried beneath layers of fear, protection, and coping mechanisms. 

      In your journey with Uzma, you’ll learn that: 

      • It’s okay to let go of survival mode. 
      • You don’t have to carry shame that isn’t yours. 
      • Your worth isn’t defined by your past. 
      • Your body is a vessel of truth and it deserves peace. 

      You Are Not Alone in This 

      You may have learned to wear masks to be the high achiever, the caretaker, the one who never complains. But underneath those roles is a person who’s tired. Who wants to rest. Who wants to be held rather than always doing the holding. 

      That person deserves to be seen

      You’re not weak for needing help. You’re not broken for feeling overwhelmed. In fact, asking for support is one of the most courageous things you can do. 

      With Uzma’s gentle guidance, you’ll discover how to: 

      • Regulate your nervous system 
      • Release stored trauma from your body 
      • Build emotional resilience 
      • Reconnect with your inner child 
      • Cultivate self-trust and spiritual alignment
