Summary/Abstract: Research of the impact of trauma (especially from childhood or transgenerational trauma) on the human psyche shows an arising of “a hole” in the psyche, an empty space filled with anxiety, fear and other affects as results of the trauma, which are not associated with mental representations, memories and historical Self. “Memories” of trauma tend to split, so they usually occur either in the form of bare information without accompanying emotions, or in forms of nightmares, flashbacks, enactments of tendency to retraumatisation or in other forms of dissociative states.
