The Angry Viking Therapist™ and The NeuroTrauma Project

Why You Feel Broken—And Why You’re Not

Trauma is not a character flaw. It’s a nervous system response.

🧠 What Trauma Does to the Brain

  • Amygdala: Hyper-alert and overreactive, keeping you in constant survival mode
  • Hippocampus: Stores trauma in fragmented, disorganized ways—leading to flashbacks
  • Prefrontal Cortex: Reduced logic, focus, and emotional control
  • Default Mode Network: Keeps replaying the trauma, even years later

💥 What Trauma Does to the Body

  • Chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation
  • Disrupted sleep and constant exhaustion
  • Muscle tension, joint pain, and digestive issues
  • Instant fight, flight, or freeze reactions to seemingly small triggers

⚙️ Why EMDR Works

EMDR is not about talking through trauma—it’s about reprocessing it at the neural and sensory level. Using bilateral stimulation, your brain unlocks and reorganizes trauma so it no longer controls your nervous system.

  • Interrupts trauma loops
  • Rebuilds regulation and calm
  • Turns terrifying memories into neutral facts
