The Trauma Membrane

In my work with victims of catastrophic stress, I find psychoanalyst Jacob Lindy’s concept of the trauma membrane extremely helpful.[8] The term “trauma membrane” refers to a kind of psychological protective sphere that a survivor creates around himself or herself following a catastrophic event. People around them will be emotionally shut out unless they feel an empathic attunement to the survivor’s experience. Trauma-informed psychotherapy must be performed by an empathic therapist who can be permitted inside the psychological perimeter created by the survivor.
