When The Past Is Always Present
When the Past Is Always Present: Emotional Traumatization Causes and Cures introduces several new ideas about trauma and trauma treatment. The first of these is that another way to treat disorders arising from the mind/brain may be to use the senses. This idea which is at the core of psychosensory therapy forms what the author considers the third pillar" of trauma treatment (the first and second pillars being psychotherapy and psychopharmacology). Psychosensory therapy postulates that sensory input--for example touch--creates extrasensory activity that alters brain function and the way we respond to stimuli. The second idea presented in this book is that traumatization is encoded in the amygdala only under special circumstances. Thus by understanding what makes an individual resistant
to traumatization we can offer a way of preventing it. The third idea is that traumatization occurs because we cannot find a haven during the event. This is the cornerstone of havening the particular form of psychosensory therapy described in the book. Using evolutionary biological principles and recently published neuroscientific studies this book outlines in detail how havening touch de-links the emotional experience from a trauma essentially making it just an ordinary memory. Once done the event no longer causes distress."
