Abstract
The author explores his own attempts at healing from trauma, which led to an
embracement of a nondual psychotherapy approach. He explains how catharsis therapy,
psychodrama, and somatic experiencing, while initially helpful, did not facilitate a full
healing. By moving to incorporate a choiceless awareness perspective, the author found
he was able to drop his judgments about the trauma experience, facilitating dissolution of
the trauma experience. This discussion is then extended to letting go of the grasping at
survival and the separate self, accepting death, and then even psychic hell. Three case
studies are shared to show how a nondual therapy approach can be used to work with
some dark traumas
