After having read the article where they explain what happens in an earthquake situation, what is the importance of knowing the expression of that movement in relation to the type of soil where the movement is transmitted, as well as the type of movement that is generated during the earthquake. The importance of the location of the epicenter (the point of origin of the energy release) and the projection of the force depending on the distance. All of the above is useful for us to understand and orient ourselves about what we are experiencing in relation to the modification that occurred in our natural environment, which had an impact on our built, social, work, family and personal environment, thus altering our functional unit from the approach proposed by Moshe Feldenkrais. Another important point is to know that earthquakes are not events that science can still determine exactly when they will occur, this serves as a frame of reference to understand the importance of learning to solve all the difficulties that were faced with a situation like the one that was lived, knowing how to understand how a built environment can be made according to the topographic characteristics and quality of the soil where they are built as well as the usefulness of following the rules that have been developed based on experience and the knowledge that these events leave, as well as how to understand what was the impact on the rest of this functional unit, such as the sensations we experience, thoughts, our system of tensions (emotions) and the way we move after the earthquake.
On the other hand, at present the new studies that have been done in neurology, in neurobiology as well as in neuropsychology and psychoneuroimmunology, have established solid evidence of the intricate bilateral communication between the responses that a person has between his mind and his body, We know that each organ that constitutes us is linked to our nervous system, even our own nervous system responds to thoughts and impulses that it senses in relation to its internal and external environment. From Peter Levine's point of view in relation to trauma, he considers that one of the difficulties that have arisen in dealing with people who have experienced organic trauma is to attend to them from a mental process or conflict, and not comprehensive, considering that the use of some drugs that modify brain chemistry can be included, which may generate a possibility but it has been observed that agents that trigger symptoms again remain present.
Both Feldenkrais and Peter Levine's point of view consider that approaching in this way can be an option that has in itself its great limitations since in the action of this person as an indivisible unit it is not segmented, by only treating a part of it the functional whole is not addressed. Feldenkrais considers that the symptom is only the expression of a form of organization of a system where the whole is more important than the symptom itself in order to solve the difficulty that is expressed. He raises the importance of a method that integrates organic learning processes, in which options are built so that the person understands on the somatosensory (sensorimotor) and cognitive basis, how the responses that he develops within this functional unit are produced. and the interactions that are generated. For Peter Levine, he considers that if we understand this union between body and mind as a unit, when addressing the problem of Organic trauma, it is necessary to include the role of the body, understanding how the body is modified as a result of trauma, observing the sequelae that are built. For this reason, if this basis is not available, the attempts to overcome or assimilate the trauma will be limited and partial. We need to see the human being as a delicate, sensitive, awake and alive organism. This "living body" that we call a person, whose condition is shared with all sentient beings, which has an innate ability to overcome or resolve the effects of trauma.
But let's go back to the question, what is organic trauma? If we start from the definition of the word trauma, we find that it comes from a Greek concept that means injury. Which from the medical point of view is divided into physical trauma or psychological trauma. Physical trauma is associated with an injury suffered by the body, that is, a wound is defined as the interruption of the extension of continuity of some part of the body, such as the skin or mucous membranes, which produces a communication between the internal part of the body with the outside, we can also observe it in other tissues such as the bone where this loss of continuity is called a fracture, and thus depending on where this problem occurs it will receive the name, such as head trauma, etc. - in these events The life of the person may or may not be at risk depending on the location and magnitude of the problem. The psychological trauma is considered to be negative and lasting emotions that put the well-being of the person at risk, in this situation an imbalance is generated in the mental system of the subject and its existence from the point of view of emotions. Trauma has been linked as a cause of a fear of great intensity (terror) or the lack of ability to control a real or potential danger, the relationship in which said situation occurs when the person witnesses an act that threatens the life of another human being or hers, as well as when you receive an unexpected and tragic news related to a loved one. The different currents of psychology converge on the idea that a trauma is an event that generates excessive stress. (1)
From the above we can say that then trauma is all that wound or injury or injury that is caused on the body, or the psyche (mind) of a person, causing alterations in the normal functioning of such elements. It has different variations in terms of function and severity, altering the health of the person and therefore their quality of life.
Another way trauma is defined is, External or internal event in a person's life that is of such magnitude that it cannot be managed. It is characterized by its intensity and by the inability of the subject to respond to it adaptively, which causes lasting psychopathological effects in the person. (2)
In both definitions, observe how this functional unit that Peter Levine and Moshe Feldenkrais speak of is interpreted separately.
