Soldiers undergo traumatic events while in combat. Some survive harrowing experiences; other men die. When soldiers go back home to their loved ones, it is hard to look past what happened to their comrades while they were in combat. For the soldiers who survives, everyday life is a tossup between feeling genuinely happy and feeling guilty for surviving. Even the toughest of soldiers may suffer from survivor’s guilt---a psychological syndrome that makes someone believe they have done wrong by surviving a situation when others did not.…
We as humans experience trauma during some time in our life, such as the loss of a loved one, war, rape, and segregation. These traumas can leave a long lasting effect on a person. It can isolate a person from others leaving them in silence and also with a shadow of themselves that is unrecognizable. With trauma, a wall of silence can build around a person and begin to chip away parts of them, by sharing their stories the wall can be broken and the person can begin to heal.…

Many practitioners still believe that a patient must reach sobriety prior to addressing trauma issues, however, when looking at the reality of the circular correlations between PTSD symptoms and substance abuse one might ask "Who would choose to give up something that eases chronic emotional and physical pain, and then engage in therapy that stimulates that pain, without recourse to relief via self-medication?" (Miller, 2002, p. 158). Therefore, Miller (2002) believes it to be ineffectual and a disservice to the patient to focus on substance abuse without addressing the impact of trauma symptoms (Weis, 2010). Unfortunately, there are still differing theoretical approaches in place, many of which still address substance use as the primary disorder…
The Holocaust was a time when people gave everything they had in order to survive. The ones that made it out alive continued to fight after liberation and their fight continues today. Every survivor was impacted in a way unimaginable and in a way that most may never understand. Survivors did not have an easy time after liberation because they had nothing to call their own, which dramatically impacted them emotionally, physically, and mentally. Being liberated after surviving one of the worst genocides in the history of the world, seems like it would be a good thing.…
Trauma comes in many shapes and forms across the board. Trauma, or a deep distressing or disturbing experience, is experienced by everyone at some point in their lives. Children coming from hard places sometimes experience more trauma in their few years of life than some adults experience throughout their entire lives. Examples of trauma can be anywhere from sexual abuse, to living in poverty, moving from place to place, and even the death of a loved one. These traumas mold and shape the child emotionally and sometimes physically if the child as suffered neglect or physical abuse.…
After experiencing a traumatic event each individual will differ in the intensity of the cognitive and emotional responses to the trauma. Some events that could trigger acute or post-traumatic stress disorders could include disasters such as natural disasters, car accidents or being an emergency responder during a traumatic event. Victimization could include torture, rape, domestic violence, child abuse or terrorism. Combat or hostage situations can also lead to acute or PTSD. You could also not be experiencing any symptoms until something reminds you of memories or emotions you might not expect.…
1. There are ten ACES that someone could experience. The first five ACES are personal and they are physical abuse, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, physical neglect, and emotional neglect. The last five ACES is if a child has a family member who is diagnosed with a mental illness or is suicidal, addicted to alcohol or another substance, a victim of domestic violence, in prison, or losing a parent through divorce, death, or abandonment. 2.…
If I had the ability to choose which type of memories to give up in the case of brain trauma or injury, I would choose to give up my memories of the past if I were a relatively young age at the time of the brain trauma. Losing my long-term memory would mean that I would lose all my memories up through the accident. I would lose all the good memories from my childhood, my marriage, my children’s birth, and other wonderful events that happened. At the same time, I would also lose any bad memories of things that occurred in the past. Upon losing my long-term memory, I would no longer have my memories of the past, yet I would still be able to form new memories while living my life.…

Speculate as to why emotional trauma can result in memory loss. Include in your speculation your ideas regarding each of the major aspects of trauma discussed in class, including emotional overwhelm, stress, repressed memory, intrusive thoughts and the impact of emotion on the memory process. We all experience stress or trauma at some times in our lives and our minds process this in a certain way. When something frightening, shocking, sad or dangerous happens to us, our bodies and minds process the experience by having a reaction. Some people have the sensation of complete shock and are unable to understand what is occurring.…
1.) Biological (including neurobiological), psychological, social, and developmental factors that are important for understanding the child’s behavior. Some of the biological and neurological factors that would be considered in this case are the effects of trauma on the child’s brain development. Applegate& Shapiro (2005) explained, “Thus, while the brain is thought to remain plastic and responsive to new experience throughout life, early childhood experience is particularly salient because the neuronal organization and structure of the brain is still in its formative stages” (p. 15).…
