SEE MEMORY CLINICAL

A neuroscience-informed film and clinical toolkit for trauma therapy, clinician training, and reflective practice.

Developed by Viviane Silvera, MFA
(B.A. Psychology, Tufts University) • Founder, On Art LLC

See Memory Clinical™ combines the 28-minute PBS edition of the film with a clinical toolkit designed for therapists, educators, and training programs exploring trauma, emotional memory, and narrative healing.

Through a blend of visual storytelling and contemporary neuroscience, the film offers clinicians and patients a vivid way to reflect on how memories are carried, revisited, and understood within the therapeutic process.

Professional use of the film—including excerpts in therapy sessions, group settings, trainings, or screenings—requires a See Memory Clinical™ license.

See Memory also resonates strongly within psychoanalytic and depth-oriented traditions, where imagery, narrative, and symbolic expression are understood as pathways into emotional memory. Many clinicians find that the film’s visual language helps patients approach experiences that are difficult to articulate directly, allowing memory and meaning to emerge gradually through reflection and dialogue.

Developed by Viviane Silvera, MFA (B.A. Psychology, Tufts University) • Founder, On Art LLC

For professional/clinical use, excerpts, groups, or trainings, a clinical license is required.

See Memory has been presented in clinical, academic, and medical settings and is used by therapists, educators, and researchers exploring trauma, memory, and healing.

 

What is See Memory Clinical?

See Memory Clinical™ is a licensed professional resource built around the 28-minute PBS edition of See Memory and an accompanying facilitation framework for therapeutic and clinical settings.

Clinicians across psychotherapy, psychiatry, social work, and counseling have begun integrating the film into therapeutic conversations about trauma, emotional memory, and meaning-making.

The film supports conversation about trauma, memory reconsolidation, dissociation, and resilience through imagery that reaches patients in a different register than talk alone.See Memory Clinical™ has been adopted in clinical, academic, and medical settings and is used by therapists, educators, and researchers exploring trauma, memory, and healing.

The film has been screened and discussed in clinical, academic, and medical settings including psychotherapy communities, university programs, and neuroscience research environments.

What Clinicians Are Saying

“A powerful and accessible film for clinicians working with trauma and implicit memory.”
— Penny Rosen, LCSW
Chair, Program Committee
National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis

“The visuals bypass defense. You drop into the psyche through this sensory, imaginal experience.”
— Joseph Lee, MSW
Jungian Analyst
This Jungian Life

“It’s like a meditation… it allows the unconscious to meet the image in its own time.”
— Deborah Stewart, LCSW
Jungian Analyst

“The response has been outstanding. I began using excerpts as an augmentation tool in psychotherapy with patients who have experienced trauma.”
— Dr. Silvana Riggio
Neurologist & Psychiatrist
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

Common clinical applications

Individual therapy: imagery as a bridge into difficult memory content

Group therapy: shared viewing + structured reflection

Clinician training: trauma-informed discussion and case resonance

Psychoeducation: memory systems + emotional salience in accessible form

Hospital / clinic programming: wellness, narrative medicine, interdisciplinary dialogue

Community partner events: co-presented screenings with Q&A (licensed)

Depth-oriented therapy: exploring symbolic imagery, narrative identity, and emotional memory

Use in Training and Educational Settings

See Memory is also used in graduate training programs, residency seminars, and university counseling centers as a reflective teaching tool. The film’s visual exploration of emotional memory, trauma, and narrative identity can support discussions about how memory is experienced by patients and how clinicians listen to and work with these experiences in practice. Training programs often pair short excerpts from the film with facilitated discussion about therapeutic listening, trauma-informed care, and the role of narrative in clinical work.

Clinical Toolkit Included With License

Each clinical license includes access to the See Memory Clinical Toolkit, designed to help therapists integrate the film into individual sessions, group work, and clinician training.

The toolkit includes:

Session Framework

• Using See Memory in a Therapy Session (5-step method)
• Suggested clip segments for therapeutic use
• Facilitation prompts for discussion and reflection

Client Reflection Worksheets

• Memory Mapping Exercise
• Emotional Memory Reflection
• Imagery & Meaning Worksheet
• Rewriting the Scene Exercise

Discussion Prompts

• Questions for individual therapy sessions
• Group therapy reflection prompts
• Clinician training discussion prompts

These materials allow clinicians to integrate the film immediately into therapeutic work without needing to design their own framework.

How Clinicians Are Using See Memory

Clinicians report integrating the film in several ways:

• Showing short clips to introduce concepts like implicit memory or emotional memory
• Using imagery to help patients describe experiences that are difficult to verbalize
• Pairing the film with reflective worksheets during therapy sessions
• Facilitating discussion in trauma recovery groups
• Using the film in clinician training programs exploring trauma and memory

Because the film combines visual storytelling with neuroscience, many clinicians report that it helps patients understand trauma responses in ways that feel less abstract than traditional psychoeducation.

See Memory Clinical™ — Individual Clinician License
from $275.00

A neuroscience-informed visual resource for trauma-informed therapeutic practice.

See Memory Clinical™ is a professionally licensed adaptation of the award-winning PBS documentary See Memory, developed specifically for licensed mental health clinicians working with trauma, dissociation, grief, and memory-related distress.

Grounded in contemporary research on emotional memory and reconsolidation, this resource translates complex neuroscience into structured visual narrative tools designed to support psychoeducation, therapeutic insight, and experiential integration within clinical settings.

Why Clinicians Use It

Clients struggling with trauma often feel confused, ashamed, or “broken” when memories feel fragmented, intrusive, or inaccessible.

See Memory Clinical™ helps patients understand:

  • How emotional memories are formed and stored

  • Why traumatic memory feels present-tense

  • The difference between implicit and explicit memory

  • How memory can change through safe therapeutic processes

The visual format often allows clients to grasp what language alone cannot fully convey.

As one psychiatrist noted:

“I began to use excerpts as an augmentation tool in psychotherapy with patients who have been victims of trauma. The response has been outstanding.”
— Silvana Riggio, M.D., Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

See Memory Clinical™ is designed to support reflection, conversation, and psychoeducation within therapeutic contexts. It is not intended to replace clinical judgment or established treatment methods.

Clinicians are encouraged to integrate the film in ways that are appropriate to their professional training, client population, and therapeutic approach.

Because the film touches on themes related to trauma and emotional memory, therapists should exercise clinical discretion regarding when and how excerpts are introduced.

When used thoughtfully, many clinicians find that the film’s imagery can help patients explore experiences that are difficult to articulate through words alone.
