From reliving to remembering: Transforming traumatic memory after trauma

Traumatic memories are frequently relived, not remembered. Indeed, emerging neuroscientific evidence demonstrates that traumatic memories are relived in the form of sensations and motoric actions. How can we transform traumatic memories from being relived to being remembered as a coherent narrative that is contextualized in the present? This lecture will describe how traumatic memories can be transformed through an integrative, neuroscientifically-guided approach drawing from a range of modalities, including EMDR. Case examples will be given throughout the lecture.
