Summary
AI-generated from the abstractTrauma is often understood as a shock that ruptures experience, but this inquiry tests that model by examining the inner structures of attention (as open awaiting) and emotion (as perduring resonance). Integrating microphenomenological subjective reports with neuro and physiological data, the work aims to renew understanding of the blank lived experience of trauma and the passive preconscious dynamics of traumatism, and to generate possible therapeutic effects.

Abstract
The phenomenology of trauma is a historical, epistemological, and methodic inquiry that wishes to test the validity of an already settled dynamic model of surprise as shock-rupture based on its correlated inner structures of attention (as an open awaiting) and emotion (as a perduring resonance). Thanks to an integrative approach, crossing (micro)phenomenological subjective experiences and empirical (neuro and physiological) data, we hope to renew the understanding of the blank lived experience of trauma and the passive preconscious dynamics of traumatism, as well as to generate possible therapeutic effects.
