You'r...Amazing what a difference a year makes. You're only a year older and you have much more intense and detailed memories of challenger. I have one vivid memory of that day. All of the kids gathered in the school cafeteria watching the launch, the explosion - which I didn't understand, and then the teachers' reaction. That about all I remember. But I completely relate with your description of the collective shudder. <br /><br />At work we deal with a lot of kids (and sometimes adults) with trauma in their past. Sometimes they have no clear recollection of the trauma - no vivid memories - but they are affected by that trauma none the less. There is trauma stored in our bodies that may or may not be consciously remembered. This trauma, if not addressed, can cause many unexplained negative reactions including reactions to triggers associated with the trauma. Makes me think of your "collective shudder."<br /><br />The is a book called "the Body Keeps Score" that has been on my shelf waiting to be read. It comes highly recommended by people whose opinions matter to me. Unfortunately I have a long list of highly recommended books to read and haven't yet gotten around to reading this one. <br /><br />Keely<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-5133995042808992362016-02-11T07:31:06.878-05:002016-02-11T07:31:06.878-05:00I hadn't thought about the collective shudder....I hadn't thought about the collective shudder.
