 Emotional and Psychological Trauma: Causes, Symptoms, Effects, and Treatment
Depending on the nature of the trauma and the age or state of development at which it occurred, these somatic (body) psychotherapies might even be more effective than traditional therapies.
One way to determine whether an emotional or psychological trauma has occurred, perhaps even early in life before language or conscious awareness were in place, is to look at the kinds of recurring problems one might be experiencing.
The ability to recognize emotional trauma has changed radically over the course of history.

 THORACIC TRAUMA
The patient with chest trauma may present with respiratory distress due to hemothorax.
Heart injuries (cardiac contusion): myocardial contusion is associated, in chest blunt trauma, with fractures of the sternum or ribs.
The evaluation of the patient's chest trauma is only a part of the total assessment; furthermore because thoracic injuries are severe and potentially lethal, the diagnosis and therapy go hand in hand.

 Trauma
Trauma patients are cared for by expert nurses and nursing assistants in many units within the hospital.
Rounding out the continuum of care, the patient is provided acute inhouse rehabilitation, with physical, occupational, and speech therapy to provide for a positive transition to home and the community.
Saint Al's Trauma Center spans an entire continuum of care from the point of injury to a return to the community.

 Trauma/PTSD
During a traumatic experience, you adapt and choose new approaches that are survival-oriented for the situation you're in.
The problem comes after the trauma, when those approaches and response are no longer functional.
Recovery involves recognizing what responses are and aren't functional, and getting rid of the ones that hurt you.

 What Is Psychological Trauma?
Research suggests that in trauma, interruptions of childhood development and hypervigilance of our autonomic systems are compounded and reinforced by significant changes in the hard-wiring of the brain.
Chronic early trauma -- starting when the individual's personality is forming -- shapes a child's (and later adult's) perceptions and beliefs about everything.
Jon Allen, a psychologist at the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kansas and author of Coping with Trauma: A Guide to Self-Understanding (1995) reminds us that there are two components to a traumatic experience: the objective and the subjective.

 Surviving Trauma
You need to realize that the emotional response you are encountering is trauma -- just as if you were being hit physically instead of emotionally.
You need to recognize the various types of trauma responses -- and realize that "just because" a response is justified does not mean it is not traumatic.
Second, you must create a pattern that allows you to vent and work through the stress that you have accumulated from trauma.

 Focusing and Trauma
Trauma creates an internal straitjacket, stifling the unfolding of being and halting forward movement.
After a lifetime's experience working with different techniques, Focusing is her preferred therapy technique when working with trauma:
Shapiro wants "to convince the client that she is larger than the pathology and can effectively remain an observer of its previously overwhelming effects." (p.138) In Focusing, too, clients are taught to find ways of getting an appropriate distance between themselves and their situations, so that they can observe their issues rather than being overwhelmed.

 Trauma
Visual-Kinesthetic Disassociation (V/KD) (Bandler and Grinder, 1979) facilitates the attainment of a degree of kinesthetic dissociation as the individuals visually re-experience their trauma (Hossack and Bentall, 1996), enabling them to process the event(s) from a de-centered perspective.
TIR is highly client-centered in its’ approach, where the role of the therapist is largely to bear witness as the clients process their traumas.
The procedure uses a combination of hypnosis, voluntary dissociation, narration, art therapy, focal psychotherapy, video-therapy, and integrative techniques, with the goal of processing traumatic memories with minimal abreaction or painful re-experiencing.

 Definition of Betrayal Trauma Theory
Betrayal trauma theory predicts that dissociating information from awareness is mediated by the threat that the information poses to the individual's system of attachment (Freyd, 1994, 1996).
Specifically, betrayal appears to be related to avoidance and dissociative responses that help the individual to keep threatening information from awareness under conditions where the individual's survival depends upon the perpetrator.
An important issue for future research is investigating the role the emotional perception of betrayal has in distress and recovery.

The most recent human data, including Gilbertson et al's (2002) twin study, suggest that response to trauma may be influenced by pre-existing individual differences in hippocampal volume.

 Colin Firth starring in Trauma
Like My Little Eye, Trauma has an evenness of tone and an absolute refusal to let the audience relax that will not be to everyone's taste, but which are expertly achieved.
His role is a testing one, that of a man whose wife has been killed in a car accident, trying to come to terms with the emotional backlash.
It’s troubling, intense and puzzling, all of which are bolstered by the visual sense of Evans and his cinematographer John Mathieson, who allow Ben’s fragility to seep into the very core of the film through oppressive camerawork.
