Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The role of traumatic memory in both pathology and healing is extremely complex. While this book is geared towards therapists who work with their clients’ traumatic memories, it is also written for individuals who want to understand how their memories affect them and how they can come to an enduring peace with them.
#2 While contemporary psychotherapies can help alleviate certain dysfunctions related to trauma, they are unable to reach its primal core. They do not sufficiently address the essential body and brain mechanisms that are impacted by trauma.
#3 Therapists are often influenced by common misconceptions about the nature of memory. Traditionally, psychologists have studied what is called verbally accessible memory — the kind of memory that is accessible and rewarding in elementary, middle, and high school settings.
#4 Memory is not something concrete, definitive, and reproducible like a video recording that can be retrieved at will. It is instead more ephemeral, ever-shifting in shape and meaning.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The role of traumatic memory in both pathology and healing is extremely complex. While this book is geared towards therapists who work with their clients’ traumatic memories, it is also written for individuals who want to understand how their memories affect them and how they can come to an enduring peace with them.

#2

While contemporary psychotherapies can help alleviate certain dysfunctions related to trauma, they are unable to reach its primal core. They do not sufficiently address the essential body and brain mechanisms that are impacted by trauma.

#3

Therapists are often influenced by common misconceptions about the nature of memory. Traditionally, psychologists have studied what is called verbally accessible memory — the kind of memory that is accessible and rewarding in elementary, middle, and high school settings.

#4

Memory is not something concrete, definitive, and reproducible like a video recording that can be retrieved at will. It is instead more ephemeral, ever-shifting in shape and meaning.

#5

The mutability of memory is a central premise of the book. If memory is a reconstructive process that is constantly selecting, adding, deleting, and updating information, then how can we trust what we remember. And when is the memory a fabrication perpetrated by magicians, be they therapists, family, lawyers, or politicians.

#6

Memories are the basis of our identities and help us navigate new situations. They help us link present with past, and we use these memories to construct a future that is more adaptive, rewarding, and beneficial than our past.

#7

Our memories are shaped by our emotions. They are the most salient of our memories, and they are responsible for initiating and strengthening learning. Our memories are constantly in flux, and they are mutable and remolded many times throughout our lives.

#8

The past lives on in the present, as a panoply of manifold fears, phobias, physical symptoms, and illnesses. Traumatic memories are fixed and static, and they do not yield to change. They are imprints from past overwhelming experiences, deep impressions carved into the sufferer’s brain, body, and psyche.

#9

The role of trauma memories in the treatment of neurosis was the Rosetta stone of early twentieth-century psychoanalysis. While Freud was not the first to deal with such pathogenic and hidden memories, he became the best known.

#10

The role of memory in the treatment of trauma was highlighted in the 1990s, and many therapists began to push their clients to recover long-forgotten memories of childhood molestation and abuse. This dredging was often accompanied by abreactions and sometimes by violent catharsis.
