After the overwhelming experience is over and they have survived, traumatized individuals are left with only a fragmented, confusing sense of what happened.
Traumatic reminders continue to keep the trauma ‘alive’ by repetitively re-activating the stress response system and survival defenses. Unaware that these reactions are traumatic memories held in the body, clients assume that they are still in danger or somehow at fault.
Without a way to understand sensory and body memories, survivors of trauma come to either distrust themselves or distrust others. Telling the story of what they remember sometimes brings relief but does not resolve the ‘living legacy’ of traumatic reactions that continue to torment the client day after day.
