Conventional trauma recovery models rooted in Euro-American clinical paradigms often emphasize individualism, verbal disclosure, and cognitive insight, overlooking the unconscious, relational, and embodied dimensions of trauma within collectivist, honor-based societies. This paper introduces the SHARE Model of Trauma Recovery, a culturally situated psychoanalytic framework grounded in five interlinked domains: Silence, Honor, Attachment, Relational Trauma, and Embodied Memory. Drawing on object relations theory, relational psychoanalysis, feminist postcolonial critique, and somatic psychoanalytic approaches, the SHARE Model repositions trauma as a culturally encoded, intergenerational phenomenon sustained through familial dynamics, shame-bound silence, and collective repression. In settings where speaking is dangerous and honor is socially constitutive, silence may function as both defense and survival. The model proposes culturally attuned psychoanalytic interventions that engage somatic memory, non-verbal communication, and transgenerational transmission of trauma. With clinical implications for therapeutic work in Pakistan and comparable sociocultural contexts, the SHARE Model offers an innovative contribution to contemporary psychoanalytic thought reframing trauma recovery as a relational and culturally mediated process.
