Unresolved Trauma

Improved Essays
I feel the statement in the question is absolutely right. When an individual is suffering or has experienced some type of unresolved trauma, the issue doesn’t necessarily lye within the individual. It lye’s in the unresolved conflicts that the individual is experiencing. Whether that be within a relationship with the individual, or within a trauma or another aspect of their life.
Everyone copes how they know how. It makes me think of the children I work with. I have worked with children that struggled with severe anger issues. They cope with that anger how they knew how. It was our job the guide them through the strategies to cope with their feelings. This explains my point of it is difficult to overcome these things alone. We have to lean

    The principles of trauma-informed care (TIC) can be universally applied to other practice models, such as the family preservation model. Using a strengths-based perspective is a valuable TIC principle that would be very effective in family preservation. By highlighting a family’s strengths you can use these attributes to address challenges. Noticing strengths can also help build engagement and rapport with clients to help aid in the intervention process. Being person-centered is another TIC principle that could guide family preservation practice (D. Strohm, PowerPoint, September 10th, 2015).…

    Trauma Informed Care

    Trauma can occur to anyone who has been violated, hurt, or threatened, or to those who witness these acts (Smyth, 2013). Clients may have experienced trauma through child abuse, domestic abuse, sexual assault, natural disasters, life threatening illness, being threatened by death or harm, serious accidents, and many other situations where danger is present (Smyth, 2013). Trauma Informed Care (TIC) is an intervention acknowledging how all types of trauma may be impacting clients, and recognizing and responding to trauma in a safe and empowering way (Trauma-Informed Care, 2012). Experiencing trauma can significantly impact a person, and clients who have been through trauma may develop various mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, childhood behavioral disorders, substance abuse, or personality disorders (Smyth, 2013). Trauma often results in a cycle of trauma, with the traumatic event eliciting a bodily response, followed by an emotional response, and then a behavioral response; after this, each time a trigger…

    Folkes (2002) expressed that “TFT is both rapid and non-invasive, requiring clients to disclose to the facilitator only as much of their ‘story’ as they feel comfortable or able to tell” (p. 99). Due to varying cultural norms and the nature of trauma, TFT is an appropriate choice for treatment and for any client who has difficulty telling their trauma story, such is the case of many Rwandan women. The study by Folkes “suggests that TFT significantly reduced the overwhelming emotions resulting from traumatic life experiences of men and women of various ethnicities and histories” (p. 102). Folkes claims that eighty to ninety percent of individuals benefited from the simplest form of TFT treatment. Connolly and Sakai also researched brief trauma…
