The Impact of Implicit Memory on Adult Survivors of Family Abuse
What "the body keeps the score" means in regard to abuse and trauma recovery
In my last article, I discussed the importance of assessing adult survivors of Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA) for symptoms of Structural Dissociation, which is associated with Complex Trauma (C-PTSD). If you missed reading this article, you can find it here. This week, I discuss how body-based Implicit Memory contributes to the FSA adult survivor’s experience of feeling ‘triggered’, which in turn may result in the experience of structural dissociation.
