Wynne,
Did calmT leave you in a cliff hanger? Big Grin LOL!

Do you think he is talking about body memories? I think I recall you speaking of them and being aware of what they are, or perhaps I just assumed that. Smiler

Sometimes the trauma experience was so intense, or perhaps very young, that they are stored in fragments. Some of those fragments may never be recalled, but our body doesn't play the same tricks on us as our minds do (this gives me shivers) and thus we have somatic sensations w/o an actual memory to attach it to or validate it, if you will. But we need to give those feelings and sensations as much honor and significance as we do actual cognitive memories. Do you think that is what he meant?

Sorry if I am just blabbering. Big Grin
JM
