PS408 Final Exam Questions and
Answers
Explain the "Compulsion to Repeat" (2 pts) - answer One symptom of trauma is
being drawn to situations that replicate the original trauma. An example would be a
prostitute with a history of sexual abuse.
Children often recreate a traumatic experience in their play.
(Levine p. 19-24)

Explain "Felt Sense" (2 pts) - answer The felt sense is not the mental experience of
an event, but the physical experience. It is the bodily awareness of a
person/situation/event. It is how we experience the totality of sensation.
(Levine p. 46)

Explain "Pendulation" (2 pts) - answer Pendulation refers to the body's natural
rhythms of expansion and contraction
(Levine p. 56)

Explain the 12-Phase Healing Trauma Program - Overview: (4 pts) - answer *The
12-phase healing trauma program is designed to help individuals who have been cut off
from their bodies as a result of trauma. These exercises help people reconnect with
their bodies and learn to live in a body-aware way (see Levine ch. 4)

Phases: (probably not necessary)

-phase 1: safety and containment exercises: finding your body boundaries
-phase 2: grounding and centering
-phase 3: building resources
-phase 4: from "felt sense" to tracking specific sensations
-phase 5: tracking activation: sensations, images, thoughts, and emotions
-phase 6: pendulation: tracking your rhythms of expansion and contraction
-phase 7: fight response: natural aggression versus violence
-phase 8: flight response: natural escape versus anxiety
-phase 9: strength and resiliency versus collapse and defeat
-phase 10: uncoupling fear from the immobility response
-phase 11: orientation: moving from internal to external environment and social
engagement
-phase 12: settling and integrating

The healing of trauma is primarily a _B__________________ process or
_B_________________ process often accompanied by psychological effects (2 pts) -
answer biological, bodily

,Successful healing methods inevitably involve establishing a connection to the
_B______________ (1 pt)

Explain: (2 pts) - answer body

*Levine observed that trauma occurs when the body remains in the state of "fight or
flight" even after the danger is no longer present. Healing trauma requires that we
reconnect with body sensations and discharge the excess energy (see p. 27)

The "_I______________ response" used by the impala is just as important a survival
tool as "fight" (1 pt) or "flight." This normal survival strategy is also called the
"_F_______________ response" (1 pt)

Explain: (2 pts) - answer immobility, freezing

*The immobility response is used when fight or flight are not viable options. Animals use
this response because the attacker may think it is dead and lose interest. It also
involves a numbing effect that softens the pain or terror.
(p. 28-29)

Another of the vital functions of the immobility response is _N_________________ (1
pt) - answer numbness

This difficulty in normalizing ourselves is very important. I believe that the ability to
return to equilibrium and balance, after using the "immobility response," is the primary
factor in avoiding being _T_______ (1 pt)

Explain: (2 pts) - answer traumatized

*After using the immobility response, wild animals naturally shake off the built up energy
and return to their normal state. Humans often resist the sensations of this release,
which prevents the discharge of energy that is necessary to return to normal functioning
(p.29-30)

Although humans rarely die from trauma, if we do not resolve it, our lives can be
severely diminished by its effects. Some people have even described this situation as a
"_L________ _D________ " (1 pt)

Explain: (2 pts) - answer living death

*Unresolved trauma causes us to feel disconnected from our bodies and our
environment, makes us feel anxious and helpless, and can cause a wide range of
physical and psychological symptoms.

Un-discharged energy is stored in the _N_______________ _S_______________,
setting the stage (1 pt)

, for the formation of the symptoms of trauma - answer nervous system

You _D____________ have to consciously remember an event to heal from it (1 pt) -
answer do NOT

People who have experienced trauma are often cut off from their _B_____________ (1
pt) - answer bodies

Body _A_________________ is something we want to cultivate and make an intrinsic
part of our lives, (1 pt)
because living in a body - _A______________ way gives us a sense of aliveness and
(1 pt) purpose in all aspects of life

Explain: (2 pts) - answer awareness, aware

*According to Levine, "A meaningful life depends upon a sense of aliveness and
presence, both of which spring from intimate contact with internal body states" (p. 35)

Remember, body _S_________________, rather than intense emotion, are the key to
healing trauma (1 pt)

Explain: (2 pts) - answer sensations

*to harness the instincts necessary to heal trauma, we must be able to identify & employ
the indicators of trauma that are made available to us through the felt sense...Emotions
contribute to the Felt Sense, but they play a less important role than most people
believe (powerpoint)

The catch is that to avoid being traumatized, the excess energy mobilized to defend us
must be " _U___________ _U________" (2 pts)

Explain: (2 pts) - answer used up

*The energy created by the fight or flight response must be release or it will remain in
the nervous system and cause symptoms of trauma

Simple Steps to Build Resilience: The first step in this attunement process - to
understand the importance of experiencing both comfortable and uncomfortable
_S__________________ while learning to tolerate and, little by little, befriend them (1
pt)

Explain: (2 pts) - answer sensations

*? (I'm not sure how to explain this)
