The problem of the presented in this article research is the search for methods of personal living of collective trauma. The study was conducted in the format of general personology, based on the definition of the specificity and comparison of collective and individual trauma, the living of collective trauma by society and personality. Personal living of collective trauma is studied with an emphasis on autobiographical memory, which has found representation in reflexive texts, or Self-narratives. The results of the study are the construction of theoretical, hermeneutic and reflexive models of living collective trauma, the personological interpretation of forty-six Self-narratives and the identification of five ways of personal living of collective trauma: “strengthening of I”, “renewal of I”, “liberation of I”, “regression of I”, “I-as-others”.
