Trauma resolution involves reconnecting with the present moment from "summary" of Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma by Peter A. Levine,Ph.D.

Trauma resolution is not about reliving the past; it is about reconnecting with the present moment. When individuals experience trauma, their nervous systems become stuck in a state of hyperarousal or hypoarousal. This means that they are either in a state of constant alertness, ready to fight or flee at any moment, or they are shut down and disconnected from their bodies and emotions. In order to heal from trauma, individuals must learn to regulate their nervous systems and come back to the present moment. This involves developing an awareness of their body sensations, emotions, and thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them. By staying present and grounded, individuals can begin to process and release the trapped energy from the traumatic experience. One way to reconnect with the present moment is through mindfulness practices. Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment without judgment, allowing individuals to observe their thoughts and emotions without getting caught up in them. By practicing mindfulness, individuals can learn to stay present with whatever arises, even if it is uncomfortable or painful. Another important aspect of trauma resolution is learning to trust the body's natural ability to heal itself. The body has an innate wisdom that knows how to release trauma and return to a state of balance. By staying present and listening to the body's signals, individuals can support this natural healing process and move towards recovery.
  1. Trauma resolution is about coming back to the present moment and reconnecting with oneself. By developing awareness, practicing mindfulness, and trusting the body's wisdom, individuals can begin to heal from trauma and move towards a sense of wholeness and well-being.
