The accumulation of stress in the body

The accumulation of stress in the body is unresolved tension being held in the body over time. According to the somatic approach, stress responses that could not be completed and a constant state of being triggered can lodge in the body as muscular tension or a chronic state of being on guard. This concept explains why stress is felt not only in the mind but in the body too. The body often stores the load it cannot carry as tension. Noticing this accumulation is the first step in resolving it.
