The design of PRA v1 is aimed at being able to work with any level of trauma at any level of awareness within the brain/mind interface. However, I concur that working with such early traumas is very challenging, as the awarenesses in play are verylimited in their perceptual and comprehensive capacity and awareness. They tend to be purely emotional and instinctual in nature, the balance and focus being dependent on personality type.
My girlfriend has traumas from 0-5 years old and then others from later. She reports that she is getting results from PRA v1, although as expected, progress is slow, since the program is going at the pace she can handle. But I have seen dramatic improvement in how she handles frustration and stressors since she started using this program.
Hope this helps.
V2 is going to be much more comprehensive and much more intricately detailed in what it does and can do, and how it approaches the process of trauma healing.
Alright
One thing I still struggle to understand and would like your input on is very early developmental trauma, specifically with abandonment involved. In these cases the body and mind never learned self-regulation, and there often isnt a clear “pre-trauma self” to return to, as there usually is with single event PTSD. When these layers open up, the profound hopelessness and terror can be extremely destabilizing
Early developmental trauma is formed in a relational context and is often said to be healed in relations. You mentioned that your girlfriend is reporting results from PRA, which makes me wonder whether that may be related to her having consistent relational safety and support from you. But for people who dont have any of that kind of consistent support, how do you see this working in practice?
This type of trauma tends to make it extremely difficult to form consistent relational support due to a pervasive sense of unsafety with others, which complicates the healing process and creates a kind of catch 22 for those that dont have it int he first place
I'm not free to share how I deal with the trauma situation you describe because I don't really care to give my time, research funding and brain power away to my competitors. What I will say is, your model of how trauma works may or may not fully agree with mine, and I may or may not take into account factors you either don't, or havn't thought of.
Very early trauma is extremely challenging to work with, I'll agree with you on that. Communicating in a way that is effective with the involved parts, and then getting them to comprehend what has been communicated and cooperate, is very difficult. It is also limited because they typically do not have the awareness or understanding to do very much, in part because they are so emotional and or instinctual in nature, and in part because of their age-related awareness levels. It also doesn't help that they're usually blindly terrified.
But I have developed an approach for getting them to understand and work towards healing, and while it appears to have limitations in v1.0, I have learned enough from my testers that I can adjust most if not all of what I see needs to be adjusted.
My R&D on how to work with those parts is active and ongoing still.
I would be glad to discuss this in great detail with you, but I cannot do so without risking giving away information I had to pay for in time, brain power and money.
