The trauma doesn’t “sit”
in the verbal, understanding part of the brain but in much
deeper regions of the brain – amygdale, hippocampus,
hypothalamus, brain stem – which are only marginally
affected by thinking and cognition. People process their
trauma from the bottom up – body to mind – not top down.
To do effective therapy we need to do things that change the
way people regulate these core functions, which probably
can’t be done by words and language.
