Working with Traumatic Memory That’s Held in the Body

160 Comments

When it comes to the treatment of trauma, our work often centers on our clients’ feelings and sensations . . .

. . . and sometimes, those sensations can present as physical pain.

In the video below, Peter Levine, PhD shares a powerful story of how he helped a man trace the source of his unremitting back pain – all the way back to where it began.

Take a look – it’s just 4 minutes.

For more on how to work with traumatic memory, be sure to check out the Treating Trauma Master Series.

You’ll get insights from: Peter Levine, PhD; Bessel van der Kolk, MD; and Pat Ogden, PhD.

Now we’d like to hear from you. How will you use this idea in your work? Please leave a comment below.

    I am in South Africa and my husband has had chronic pain for 2 years. I think he may have underlying trauma. How will I find a trained practitioner who can do an online consultation with him? Please email anielred@gmail.com
