Just as we learned to do scary as children and all through our growing-up years, we draw on inner images to make us feel safe again when the world gets. This is what makes it so natural to use imagery for trauma healing.
Bruce Perry, an expert on brain development, states that childhood trauma healing after trauma, our brains have been trained to respond differently than non-traumatized brains. So before we can focus on words and their meaning, we have to calm ourselves completely. And that is why therapies that rely only on talking and listening may fail in healing trauma.
"In order to complete the healing process, a traumatized person must access the limbic system and the right hemisphere of the brain, where images, body sensations and feelings are stored. By activating this area of the brain...a person is able to attach meaning to them and move this traumatic material to more adaptive resolution." -Linda Gould, psychotherapist.
