  • 16 – 24 yr olds who’ve been arrested. A 4 week cycle, which after completion, the judgement is erased
  • PTSD origins – when a physical response is separated from language cognition
  • Both lofty and practical responses
  • PROTECTION MECHANISM:
  • – It’s easier to describe a traumatic event if you picture yourself removed from the event. This leaves out your own subjectivity….and distances you from your own emotion. 
  • NB: For a storyteller (the person sharing a narrative) it’s often more important /potent for a truth to be played out in front of themselves by another. 
  • When you portray something through the LISTENER the STORYTELLER often learns something new EMOTIONALLY 
  • EMBODIMENT and TRAUMA
  • PRESENCE and ABSTRACTION
  • Patterns of social trauma
  • Methods:
  • SILENT MINIMAL GESTURE = embodiment 
  • CONCRETE UNIVERSAL = the emotional for, or centre, of the narrative
  • PHYSICAL NARRATIVE = speech isn’t always necessary. Physical re-embodiment or patterning 
  • EXTERNALISATION = to take it beyond yourself, your body. The generosity of embodiment; to take care on a human level
  • Memory forensics
  • Crowdsourcing memory
