What is it about?
Through a conversation and a simple protocol of work it is possible to help patients who do not have the story of the event and therefore cannot calm themselves. The protocol is based on early intervention in acute trauma with shocked patients who cannot tell themselves what happened hours after the event, days after the event as well as in events with dissociation.

Why is it important?
When people do not have a story to tell it is difficult for them to deal with the events that happened to them in life. The protocol helps people build for themselves a helpful story in order to process the difficult events they went through.
Perspectives
This article was written following a painful and difficult clinical experience with confused and frightened patients. The article began to be written against the backdrop of war and life-threatening patients going through while trying to help them with the few tools we had at the time. Only then were we able to organize, we too the thoughts and build the protocol we present here to help people who "have no story"
