Can I heal trauma even when I have no clear memories of what happened?
Yes. You can heal trauma without having clear memories or no memory at all. You may not remember, but your body has stored everything that has happened.
Triggers ARE your memories showing up in the present.
Working with your triggers is the equivalent of working with your memories.
Additionally, in somatic work we can work with what is showing up in the moment during the sessions, without having an initial story or memory.
The body knows exactly what is ready to come to the surface, and things can evolve from there...
And when there is explicit memory and a client doesn’t feel ready to share the story, I can still work with them, without having to “force” the words that are not ready to come out.
This is what I love the most about this work. There is no need to push. It is gentle, respectful of each person’s timing, yet highly effective.
