Yes,
Waking the Tiger is what I'm currently reading:
'If we feel inclined to focus on memories (even if they are basically accurate), it is important to understand that this choice will impair our ability to move out of our traumatic reactions.' (
Waking the Tiger, p.216)
There is little inclination on my part...I free fall whether I want to or not.
