The Politics of Trauma

A post with a long quote from the book ...really really good. It's also instructive in terms of a somatic healing process which is really what I've been sharing for years. This author has articulated it with a brilliant clarity I've not seen before. ~~ "I know this may sound strange but so often what we are reacting to is not being able to tolerate what is happening in our own sensations, emotions and experiences. We react to get rid of the feeling, to push away the sensations, because they are associated with something intolerable, painful and uneasy."
