Why does my body shake when i talk about something traumatic?

Michelle

So I was in a very terrible car accident. Long story short, i got hit by a drunk driver going 90 on the road. My father n law i only knew for a short time, passed away. And i had to get emergency exploratory surgery.

Its been about 9 months since the accident and i feel fine. I think about it sometimes, but overall, i don’t let it get to me. I feel fine when I’m on the road, i feel fine in general. infact, i even WANT to talk about my car accident and what i went through. But when i do, my body starts to shake. My voice shakes, and it sounds like im about to cry. And i really don’t know why, because i want to tell my story but the shaking gets in the way and its hard for my mind to process the words to tell my story.
