When Trauma Has No Visual Memories
Non declarative traumatic memories are stored in the body with no connection to a visual event. The body remembers and sends signals via emotions or sensations when triggered by non identifiable cues. These triggers can be a scent, color, texture, time of day/night, time of year, light, or anything that can be perceived by the body as a threat. Bodies are wired to be conditioned by all kinds of environments. These non declarative memories often cause emotional reactions and behaviors that are below the level of consciousness.
