3. INTRODUCTION
Trauma and fragmentation can cause a person's
identity to break apart, leading to emotional and
personality splits. This presentation explores the
importance of touch for trauma recovery,
demonstrating how somatic touch can aid in
healing and reintegrating fragmented selves.

4. Understanding Fragmentation
Trauma and fragmentation result from parts of
ourselves being suppressed due to traumatic
experiences. These suppressed parts, or
fragments, hide until it's safe to emerge.
Recognizing and working with these fragments is
crucial for healing, as it allows individuals to
integrate these parts back into a cohesive self.
Identifying Fragments
Fragments are suppressed needs, desires, or
emotions that can cause unexpected emotional
reactions. Therapy helps in identifying these
fragments and understanding their origins. By
doing so, individuals can start to address these
suppressed parts and work towards
reintegration.

5. THE ROLE OF
TRIGGERS
Triggers can bring fragments to the forefront,
causing emotional reactions that seem
irrational. Understanding triggers is essential in
managing and integrating fragments, as it helps
individuals recognize when their fragmented
parts are being activated and respond
appropriately.

6. Therapeutic
Approach to
Fragmentation
Therapy focuses on identifying, understanding,
and addressing fragments. It involves creating a
safe space for these fragments to emerge and
integrate. The goal is to reduce the power of
fragments by increasing awareness and
helping the individual manage their responses
more effectively.

7. THE PROCESS OF
INTEGRATION
Integration is a slow and often
challenging process that requires
patience and a supportive therapeutic
environment. The goal is to bring
fragments back into a cohesive whole,
allowing individuals to function more
effectively and harmoniously in their
daily lives.
THE IMPORTANCE OF
TOUCH FOR TRAUMA
The importance of touch for trauma
recovery cannot be overstated.
Somatic touch can help reconnect
fragmented parts of the self. Touch
therapy promotes safety, calm, and
connection, aiding in both emotional
and physical release.

8. Clients who engage in touch therapy often report
feeling more whole and integrated. They
experience reduced emotional reactivity and
increased rational control, leading to improved
relationships and overall personal well-being.
