Outliving oneself: Trauma, memory, and personal identity. Brison, S. J. In Feminists Rethink the Self, pages 12–39. Westview Press, Boulder, 2018. abstract bibtex [first paragraph] Survivors of trauma frequently remark that they are not the same people they were before being traumatized. As a survivor of the Nazi death camps observed, "One can be alive after Sobibor without having survived Sobi- bor."1 Jonathan Shay, a therapist who works with Vietnam veterans, has often heard his patients say, "I died in Vietnam."2 Migael Scherer expresses a loss commonly experienced by rape survivors when she writes, "I will al- ways miss myself as I was" (1992, 179). What are we to make of these cryptic comments ?3 How can one miss oneself? How can one die in Vietnam or fail to survive a death camp and still live to tell one's story? How does a life- threatening event come to be experienced as self-annihilating? And what self is it who remembers having had this experience?
