## Resource

In this episode of Tammy’s Takes , Tammy Vincent breaks down one of the most misunderstood aspects of healing: 👉 the connection between trauma, the nervous system, and chronic physical symptoms. Following her conversation with Faith Ashenden, Tammy explores a powerful reframe—your body isn’t broken… it’s communicating. If you’ve experienced fatigue, anxiety, gut issues, brain fog, or unexplained symptoms, this episode will help you understand what your body may actually be trying to tell you. Because as Faith shared: 👉 “your body speaks before it screams” And when those early signals are ignored, they often show up later as chronic conditions. In this episode, Tammy walks you through: How trauma and nervous system dysregulation lead to physical symptoms Why your body stores unprocessed emotions and experiences The truth about chronic illness and the mind-body connection How to recognize early warning signs in your body A simple, practical “body listening” exercise you can use in real time How to shift from fighting your body to working with it This episode is especially powerful for those navigating: ✔ chronic illness ✔ anxiety and overwhelm ✔ nervous system dysregulation ✔ trauma recovery ✔ adult children of dysfunction This isn’t about fixing your body. 👉 It’s about learning how to listen to it. ☕ Ready to go deeper?
