Is Trauma Stored in the Body or Mind?

You’ve said trauma is stuck in the mind, not the body. I had an experience where someone grabbed my arm in the same place that’s related to a childhood incident, and I had an immediate body reaction. This left me believing the body does store trauma. How do you reconcile this? Rupert says: ‘Your body is completely free of the trauma. It was an association in your mind. Your mind made the association between your friend grabbing your arm and some previous memory and put you back into that same state of mind. Your body is fine. Look at your body now. It’s perfectly okay. You’re telling yourself a story and then believing it. That’s your trauma.’
