Healing Trauma 12: PTSD And Traumatic Memory

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a clinical diagnosis that has a set of symptoms: hijacked by memory, trouble sleeping, feeling terrified. Our body doesn’t know the danger has passed.

Healing involves a moment-to-moment experience in our body that we are safe. We use that as a secure base to revisit and heal the memories without reliving the trauma. All of the ways that we regulate our nervous system on an everyday basis help with PTSD, and many people need professional help as well.

Through the experience of safety, our system gradually updates and we realize that danger is past.
