| Question | Answer |
| EVENT (experienced through the senses) External (actually happening, happening to someone else, hearing, reading or viewing a video about it happening to someone else, learning a fictional account of an event) Internal (physical, memory or imagination) | |
| Meaning 'Innate' (e.g. fear of heights) or 'learned' (fear of gun) . The meaning of a threat is dependent on attachment. We are 'attached' to life, those we love, our place in society. Events that directly threaten our attachment are hardwired and called Unconditioned Threat Stimuli (UTS). | |
| Landscape A permissive landscape is the third element required for traumatic encoding. The landscape is the electrochemical state at the time of the event. The landscape can be vulnerable or resilient. | |
| Inescapable Fourthly, if the moment is perceived as inescapable, such as in a car accident, where we are tumbling out of control, there is the potential for traumatisation. Removing any one of these requirements prevents the encoding of a traumatic memory. It is this last element that is crucial for understanding the therapeutic actions of Havening on traumatic de-encoding. To understand this process we explore the biology of encoding where our survival sentinel is stationed, our limbic system. |
