In our laboratory research, we also tested people's memory for the words they saw. We included some words that were highly emotionally charged for survivors of betrayal trauma—words such as rape and incest. We found that the dissociative participants recalled more neutral and fewer trauma-related words than did less dissociative participants.7. Consistent with betrayal trauma theory, this supports the argument that dissociation may help keep threatening information from awareness. Continuing the example of the boy in the previous paragraph, this memory ability would mean he could remember the color of his mother's clothes (neutral) and forget the look on his father's face (charged).
