Sadly we don't and we do. The brain cannot process trauma and we experience a constant heightened state of arousal. I work a lot with patients whom have been involved in traumatic events and find that the APET model of "Human Givens" Extremely productive, combined with hypnotherapy providing guided imagery, representing the memory as a non- threatening memory can lead to success. Many thanks Dawn Pugh http://www.everytherapist.com Hi John,
