1. X liminal zone Y: ‘I was just doing X when Y’3

• equilibrium disturbed/ XY structure• the construction of suddenness • the destruction of agency• the liminal zone • imaginary stories and their evaluative role• the injustice of traumatic experience4

2. Disequilibrium: numbness, madness and retraumatisation

• metaphor and the dialectic of trauma5 • the specificity of the meaning of ‘mad’

behaviour • retraumatisation; XY structure • imaginary stories and the reverse face of history • rendering the experience6 • the narrative as testimony to the self who has

survived and as archive of the life lost.5. Herman, J. L. (1992) Trauma and Recovery. London: Basic Books6. Ricoeur, P. (1991) Life in Quest of Narrative in D. Wood (ed.) On Paul Ricoeur. Narrative and Interpretation. London: Routledge

3. Narrative meaning-making

• causation• blame• guilt and fighting talk • comparators as evaluative devices7 • social- and self-comparisons8

4. Resolutions?

endings are two-fold/Janus faced: an ending (the outcome or result), and a beginning, the beginning of a life beyond the trauma is contained in the ending of the trauma story, and the ending of the trauma story is contained within a new beginning, or the promise of a new beginning.
