“Lucy, Lucy, good and true, Went to Castle Grotteskew. Thougth she´d see what lurked inside, But for her troubles, Lucy died. Before she perished, she did say, "Monsters! Creatures! Go away!”

“La idea de la muerte llega siempre con paso de lobo, con andares de culebra, como todas las peores imaginaciones. Nunca de repente llegan las ideas que nos trastornan; lo repentino ahoga unos momentos, pero nos deja, al marchar, largos años de vida por delante. Los pensamientos que nos enloquecen con la peor de las locuras, la de la tristeza, siempre llegan poco a poco y como sin sentir, como sin sentir invade la niebla los campos, o la tisis los pechos. Avanza, fatal, incansable, pero lenta, despaciosa, regular como el pulso. Hoy no la notamos; a lo mejor mañana tampoco, ni pasado mañana, ni en un mes entero. Pero pasa ese mes y empezamos a sentir amarga la comida, como doloroso el recordar, ya estamos picados. Al correr de los días y las noches nos vamos volviendo huraños, solitarios; en nuestra cabeza se cuecen las ideas, las ideas que han de ocasionar el que nos corten la cabeza donde se cocieron, quién sabe si para que no siga trabajando tan atrozmente. Pasamos a lo mejor hasta semanas enteras sin variar; los que nos rodean se acostumbraron ya a nuestra adustez y ya ni extrañan siquiera nuestro extraño ser. Pero un día el mal crece, como los árboles, y engorda, y ya no saludamos a la gente; y vuelven a sentirnos como raros y como enamorados. Vamos enflaqueciendo, enflaqueciendo, y nuestra barba hirsuta es cada vez más lacia. Empezamos a sentir el odio que nos mata; ya no aguantamos el mirar; nos duele la conciencia, pero ¡no importa!, ¡más vale que duela! Nos escuecen los ojos, que se llenan de agua venenosa cuando miramos fuerte. El enemigo nota nuestro anhelo, pero está confiado; el instinto no miente. (...) Cuando huimos como las corzas, cuando el oído sobresalta nuestros sueños, estamos ya minados por el mal; ya no hay solución, ya no hay arreglo posible. Empezamos a caer, vertiginosamente ya, para no volvernos a levantar de vida. Quizás para levantarnos un poco a última hora, antes de caer de cabeza hasta el infierno... Mala cosa.”

“Upon my word, I most heartily despise that sex! I wish they would let our fathers and mothers alone; teasing them to tease us with their golden promises, and protestations, and settlements, and the rest of their ostentatious nonsense. How charmingly might you and I live together and despite them all!- But to be cajoled, wire-drawn, and ensnared, like silly birds, into a state of bondage or vile subordination: to be courted as princesses for a few weeks, in order to be treated as slaves for the rest of our lives”

“When clients are hyperaroused or overwhelmed emotionally, voluntarily narrowing their field of consciousness allows them to assimilate a limited amount of incoming information, thereby optimizing the chance for successful integration. For example, as one client began to report her traumatic experience, her arousal escalated: Her heart started to race, she felt afraid and restless, and had trouble thinking. She was asked to stop talking and thinking about the trauma, to inhibit the images, thoughts, and emotions that were coming up, and orient instead to her physical sensation until her arousal returned to the window of tolerance. With the help of her therapist, she focused on her body and described how her legs felt, the phyisical feeling of anxiety in her chest, and the beating of her heart. These physical experiences gradually subsided, and only then was she encouraged to return to the narrative.”

“This reorienting is not an attempt to avoid or discount clients' pain and ongoing suffering. Rather, it is a means to help them observe, firsthand, how their chronic orienting tendencies toward reminders of the past recreate the trauma-related experience of danger and powerlessness, whereas choosing to orient to a good feeling can result in an experience of safety and mastery. As clients become able to do so the new objects of orientation often become more defined and & Goodman 1951). Rather than attention being drawn repeatedly to physical pain or traumatic activation, the good feeling becomes more prominent in the client's awareness. This exercise of reorienting toward a positive stimulus can surprise and reassure clients that they are not imprisoned indefinitely in an inner world of chronic traumatic reexperiencing, and that they have more possibilities and control than they had imagined. These orienting exercises need to be practiced again and again for mastery.”

“Although Megan "knew" she was not in danger, her body told her that she was. If sensorimotor habits are firmly entrenched, accurate cognitive interpretations may not exert much influence on changing bodily orgamzation and arousal responses. Instead, the traumatized person may experience the reality of the body rather than that of the mind. To be most effective, the sensorimotor psychotherapist works on both the cognitive and sensorimotor levels. With Megan, a purely cognitive approach might foster some change in her integrative capacity, but the change would be only momentary if the cowering response were reactivated each time she received feedback at work... However, if she is encouraged to remember to "stand tall" in the face of criticism, her body and her thoughts will be congruent with each other and with current reality.”

“In sensorimotor treatment, traumatized clients are taught to become aware of trauma-related tendencies of orientation and to redirect their attention away from the past and toward the present moment. Repeatedly "shifting the client's attention to the various things going on outside of the flow of conversation [evokes] experiences which are informative and emotionally meaningful" (Kurtz, 2004, p. 40). Redirecting orientation and attention from conversation to present-moment experience-that is, from external awareness to internal awareness, and from the past to the present⎯engages exploration and curiosity, and clients can discover things about themselves that they did not know previously (Kurtz, 2004).”

“having clients orient to the stimulus on which they are very fixated helps them consciously and directly attend to reminders of past trauma. This provides the opportunity for the reactions to the trauma-related stimulus to change from involuntary and reflexive to reflective awareness and assimilation. The client's sense of control and efficacy is often enhanced, whereas simply orienting to new, neutral, or pleasurable stimuli may not accomplish this (Ford, personal communication, August 12, 2005).”
