From XPUB & Lens-Based wiki
- "There have, in fact, been hundreds of scientific publications spanning well over a century documenting how the memory of trauma can be repressed, only to resurface years or decades later." (Kolk, 2014, 228)
- "As long as a memory is inaccessible, the mind is unable to change it. But as soon as a story starts being told, particularly if it is told repeatedly, it changes - the act of telling itself changes the tale. The mind cannot help but make meaning out of what it knows, and the meaning we make of our lives changes how and what we remember."(Kolk, 2014, p 229-30)
- "Traumatic memories are fundmentally different from the stories we tell about the past. They are dissociated: The different sensations that entered the brain at the time of the trauma are not properly assembled into a story, a piece of autobiography." (Kolk, 2014, p 233)
- "In order to understand trauma, we have to overcome our natural reluctance to confront that reality and cultivate the courage to listen ot the testimonies of survivors." (Kolk, 2014, p234)
- "Our attachment bonds are our greatest protection against threat." (Kolk, 2014, p251)
- "Feeling safe is a necessary condition for you to confront your fears and anxieties. Someone who is sterm, judgemental, agitated, or harsh is likely to leave you feeling scared, abandoned, and humiliated, and that won't help you resolve your traumatic stress"(Kolk, 2014, p254)
- "The body responds to extreme experiences by secreting stress hormones. These are often blamed for subsequent illness and disease. However, stress hormones are meant to give us the strength and endurance to respond to extraordinary conditions."(Kolk, 2014, p260)
- "Telling the story is imporant; without stories, memory becomes frozen; and without memory you cannot imagine how things can be different."(Kolk, 2014, p262)
- "Being traumatized is not just an issue of being stuck in the past; it is just as much a problem of not being fully alive in the present."(Kolk, 2014, p265)
