Our brains are divided: left side, right side. The left brain is logical, mathematical, the organizer, and the language side. I like to think of my left brain as a filing cabinet. I think of the right side of the brain like the bouncer outside of an exclusive nightclub. The right side of the brain is older and developed before the left side. The right brain is where you process emotions, color, and movement. When danger is near you “feel it” in the right side before the left can put words to it.  Anything that overwhelms the body is trauma.
