“Hyperarousal causes traumatized people to become easily distressed by unexpected stimuli. Their tendency to be triggered into reliving traumatic memories illustrates how their perceptions have become excessively focused on the involuntary search for the similarities between the present and their traumatic past. As a consequence, many neutral experiences become reinterpreted as being associated with the traumatic past.” TraumaTriggersComplex PtsdHypervigilanceHyperarousal Book:Healing Trauma: Attachment, Mind, Body and Brain Source: Healing Trauma: Attachment, Mind, Body and Brain
“Our REM sleep in 90-minute bursts, in a 24 hour cycle "digests" trauma that is experienced on a daily basis. In dreaming, the brain compares the trauma with early memory traces of similar experience, and files the memories of the day's events according to an affect-based associative system for further use and potential survival value. Comforting figures may appear in the dream to give care, advice, counsel, and relief, if necessary. The nightly dream process helps the dreamer receive positive resolution of his or her experience, and the dreamer moves on to the next day's activities restored, refreshed, and prepared for survival-based action.” ProcessBrainDreamsSurvivalTraumaRepairRem Book:Healing Trauma: Attachment, Mind, Body and Brain Source: Healing Trauma: Attachment, Mind, Body and Brain
