Savannah Chrisley started writing in her diary around her birthday two years ago. She reflected back on an entry that marked the start of her therapy sessions. One of the biggest lessons she learned was how trauma lives in the body.
“You’d see it with me, that’s something happened and it’s triggered something and I break down or fall apart or have a freakout, whatever it may be, because you don’t realize that your body reacts before your mind reacts,” she noted.
The former Sassy by Savannah Cosmetics founder shared that she struggled with trauma for “almost 20 years of my life.” Therapy has been revolutionary for her life. However, Savannah didn’t share what kind of trauma affected her. She only claimed that she relied on it “as an excuse for my poor behavior.”
