Some days later she took the bus to the camp and trained eight members of
the committee. A couple of weeks later when I (Gunilla) came back with her
there were already 40 who knew the technique, since the rst eight had done
what Murigo had told them to do, they had trained ve people each. Eight
times ve makes 40.
We met these 40 refugees in a local bar since we were not allowed to enter
the camp itself without a special permit. Squeezing on benches all managed
to get in. “We are used to squeezing”, the president joked.
They were all very enthusiastic and eager to know more about TTT, and
how to deal with internal images of violence and atrocities that many of
them lived with. We demonstrated our videos from other trainings and did
our best to answer their questions.
“Can we use TTT for children? Some scream from nightmares every night.”
“Yes.”
“Are those who just talk to themselves like a crazy person maybe
traumatized?” “Yes.”
“Some don’t eat, can that be a symptom of trauma?” “Yes.”
“How often can we use TTT?” “As often as you want.”
On their request we repeated the TTT. One after the other stood up and
showed that they now could do it by themselves.
An Orange Bracelet
When there were more than 500 Trauma Tappers in the refugee camp,
Murigo suggested that we should make it visible who they were, in some
way.
“Why not some kind of bracelets?” she said.
The result is an orange silicone bracelet with the text:
Fingertips Heal Trauma – TTT – www.peacefulheart.se
The bracelet has become one more tool in the multiplying process of
spread-
ing trauma relief in the form of TTT.
To fully understand the extent of what Murigo is doing, and why this is
Significant in many ways, you might appreciate her personal story:
