The Enchanted LoomTeasing sturdy threads from

neuroscience masterworks

Teasing 10 threads fromMark Wolynn’s…

Thread 1:

Language sometimes goes missing, but it is never lost during trauma. It roams the unconscious realms, waiting to be rediscovered.(pg. 10)

Thread 2:

In many ways, healing trauma is akin to creating a poem. Both require the right timing, the right words and the right images. To heal, our pacing must be in tune.(pg. 11)

Thread 3:

During a traumatic incident, thoughts be- come scattered and disorganized. Memory fragments, dispersed as images, sensations and words can become activated later by any- thing even remotely reminiscent of the original experience.(pg. 33 )

Thread 4:

Researchers speculate that the behavioral effects of a traumatic event can express for three generations, but perhaps not beyond that.

(pg. 36 )

Thread 5:

Mother and offspring live in a biological state that has much in common with addiction. When they are parted, the infant experiences a phys- ical and psycholog- ical withdrawal, not unlike the plight of a heroin addict.(pg. 41 )

Thread 6:

Unconscious loyalty is the cause of much suffering in families.

(pg. 45 )

Thread 7:

Traumas do not sleep, even with death, but rather, continue to look for the fertile ground of resolution in the children of the follow- ing genera- tions.(pg. 52)

Thread 8:

“The unconscious insists, repeats, and practically breaks down the door to be heard.”

(pg. 53)

Thread 9:

The vast reservoir of our unconscious ap- pears to hold not only our traumatic mem- ories, but also the unresolved traumatic experiences of our ancestors.

(pg. 55)

Thread 10:

Relationship conflicts are often set in motion long before our partner ever arrives on the scene.

(pg. 186)

Thread 11:

What is hidden from sight often increases in intensity. Remaining silent about family pain is rarely an effective strategy for heal- ing it. The suffering will surface again as the fears or symptoms of a later generation.(pg. 131)
