Teasing 10 threads fromRobert Scaer’s…

Thread 1:

Traumatic “Conversion reactions” can show up as symptoms in organs or other parts of the body.

(pg. 79)

Thread 2:

Altering the threat of the unknown by informing and educating patients changes the body’s stress response and promotes healing.

(pg. xix)

Thread 3:

A child whose boundaries are evolving, ebbing and flowing, with new life experi- ences is especially vulnerable to traumatic stress.

(pg. 4)

Thread 4:

The acceptance by psychiatrists of Freudian theory resulted in almost total rejection of the effects of child abuse and trauma on character traits and personality development. (pg. 63)

Thread 5:

Physical movement that “discharges the freeze response” erases/extinguishes the memories for what the body felt, and tried, and failed to do for self-protection.

(pg. 40)

Thread 6:

Dissociation can have emotional, perceptual, physical, and/or memory-related manifestations. (pg. 125)

Thread 7:

Impaired present-moment perception may be caused by intrusion of body-based memories linked to old trauma.

(pg. 91)

Thread 8:

A trauma victim’s sense of self and developmental maturity may be arrested at the age and time of the sentinel trauma experience.

(pg. 92)

Thread 9:

A threatening experience that replicates similar past trauma is far more likely to be traumatizing.(pg. 134)

Thread 10:

Depending upon your trauma history, superficially trivial events can prove to be profoundly traumatizing .

(pg. 193)
