Michael Dadson comments:
As a trauma informed therapist, I can use interventions that can help resolve or calm down the response system so that those defensive responses subside, and the trauma memory becomes a memory that’s no longer alive. This means a memory about a past experience, that can be activated and brought into the present in with a felt sense of calm, comfort and safety with skilled, guidance and support.
