Responses that may have been beneficial in childhood, may no longer serve us in adult life.

Seemingly without warning, people who have experienced trauma can be triggered into prolonged states of hyperarousal or hypoarousal.  Chronic emptiness, intense irritability, feeling numb, dissociation, derealization, panic and hypervigilance are all states traumatized individuals long to avoid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore addressing healthy coping strategies, it is important to identify coping patterns clients may currently use to cope with their disconnected parts of self. Exploring the strategies and patterns one uses, helps to elucidate the function of their behavior. For example, a person who uses stimulant drugs may be attempting to increase their arousal. Whereas a person who eats compulsively may be attempting to block or numb their arousal. Many traumatized individuals may use a combination of strategies.      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set of 5 handouts outlines:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is trauma?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow does trauma impact the nervous system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe window of tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHyperarousal vs hypoarousal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon coping reactions to disconnected bodily states:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrauma arousal from fear and danger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrauma blocking or numbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrauma Splitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrauma abstinence\/deprivation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrauma Shame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrauma Repetition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClient worksheet\/ strategy plan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelp your clients identify behaviors they may be using to manage their distress.
