Today, did I hear correctly when I thought I heard Bessel say, in the intro comments, that if you can stay present in the moment, no other treatment is needed for trauma?
Thank you for this resource. I’m not a practitioner yet, but I hope to become one. I also have two very special people in my life who experienced serious developmental trauma and struggle with DID/borderline-type symptoms as a result, so this information is going to be invaluable to me in my interactions with both of them. I’m especially impressed by the mention that feelings of love in themselves can be triggering for people who’ve experienced relational trauma. I’ve been aware of this, but it’s important to be reminded, because it explains so much of the behavior of these two people I care about and informs the approaches I take in showing them care. I think there could be no more important work than treating and raising awareness of trauma, so thank you again for the work that you do!
