"In Trauma and Memory, bestselling author Dr. Peter Levine (creator of the Somatic Experiencing approach) tackles one of the most difficult and controversial questions of PTSD/trauma therapy: Can we trust our memories? While some argue that traumatic memories are unreliable and not useful, others insist that we absolutely must rely on memory to make sense of past experience. Building on his 45 years of successful treatment of trauma and utilizing case studies from his own practice, Dr. Levine suggests that there are elements of truth in both camps. While acknowledging that memory can be trusted, he argues that the only truly useful memories are those that might initially seem to be the least reliable: memories stored in the body and not necessarily accessible by our conscious mind. While much work has been done in the field of trauma studies to address "explicit" traumatic memories in the brain (such as intrusive thoughts or flashbacks), much less attention has been paid to how the body itself stores "implicit" memory, and how much of what we think of as "memory" actually comes to us through our (often unconsciously accessed) felt sense. By learning how to better understand this complex interplay of past and present, brain and body, we can adjust our relationship to past trauma and move into a more balanced, relaxed state of being.

Dr. Peter Levine, the creator of the Somatic Experiencing approach and best-selling author of Trauma and Memory, addresses one of the trickiest and most contentious issues in PTSD/trauma therapy: can we trust our memories? Some contend that traumatic memories are unhelpful and unreliable, while others maintain that memory is an essential tool for understanding the past. Dr. Levine makes the argument that there are elements of truth in both camps based on his 45 years of successful trauma treatment and case studies from his own practice. I had also reviewed this book on shabd.in too.
