Michael Brechtel-Descilo has written an excellent concise defnition as to how trauma works and why Traumatic Incident Reducton works: Hmmm, hard to do as a sustained act of will, yet when we resolve the traumatic incidents in our lives- what Eckhart Tolle refers to as the pain body- we return to our nature, which is love, kindness, and the capacity for joy. We are also restored to our vital selves, with energy and health. Our body has a physiological response to extreme stress. This Fight, Flight, Faint, or Freeze response shuts down parts of the body not immediately needed to keep us alive. In extreme cases, traumatic events, this includes the hippocampus, which stops memory consolidation of the event. This may be because the brain cant afford the time or energy for conscious memory formation while the amygdala is engaged in trying to save our lives, even if it only believes they are in danger. Psychologically, the mechanism is described as repression which is thought to prevent us from thinking about the unpleasant event, but it has a clear physiological basis in the involuntary shutdown of memory formation. This makes our automatic response to traumatic stress a bit like a banks alarm system. The bank is robbed, the alarm goes off. Success, were saved. But if the alarm is still going off a week later, or goes off randomly in the middle of various banking days, not a lot of banking will get done, the tellers and customers will get irritated and agitated, people will not be nice to each other. The good news is that its easy to reset the alarm- to finish the interrupted memory processing that leaves the traumatic event active in the amygdala as if it were still happening. Traumatic Incident Reduction is a discipline that can be taught in 4-5 days that enables a facilitator to sit with someone and help them complete the processing of unresolved trauma interfering with their lives, health, moods, attitudes and sapping their energy (PTSD, Depression, Anxiety). A single untimed session can completely resolve an event, even a horrific one, and an average of 20 hours of such sessions can enable most people with complex trauma histories to resolve their entire load of unresolved traumatic events. Once thats done, most people are pretty loving, kind and joyful. Thats the way were made.
