No One Wants to Remember Trauma. "No one wants to remember trauma. In that sense, society is not much different from the victims themselves. We all want to live in a world that feels safe, controllable, and predictable, and victims remind us that this is not always the case. To understand trauma, we must overcome our natural resistance to face that reality and learn to summon the courage to listen to the testimonies of those affected by trauma."
