Critical Incidents and Trauma Memories
“We have learned that trauma is not just an event that took place sometime in the past; it is also the imprint left by that experience on mind, brain, and body . This imprint has ongoing consequences for how the human organism manages to survive in the present."
Bessel A. van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score
