Download or read book After Trauma written by Ali W. Rothrock and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2022-04-12 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a young age, Ali Rothrock fell head over heels in love with firefighting. But when she entered the fire service, she was ostracized by those who weren't willing to accept a girl into their ranks. Constant microaggressions, overt sexism, and instances of sexual violence wore her down until she no longer believed she could safely exist in the world. The trauma of her experiences eventually resulted in a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder, and that diagnosis was a first step toward healing. In the years since, Ali has worked as a domestic violence and sexual assault counselor, an advocate for abused children, an inspirational speaker, and a crisis counselor for first responders. On her journey of recovery, she has collected other people's stories of resilience. After Trauma explores the fallout from trauma, the ripples those experiences have on our lives, and finally, a path toward healing. After Trauma is a story of adversity, grit, defiance, choice, and hope. Each chapter offers a lesson to help readers overcome their own trauma, including concrete and actionable advice on how to re-story a life after adversity. We all have the ability to re-define ourselves, to feel hope about what lies ahead, and to choose our own way forward.

Download or read book Crisis Counseling Workbook written by Danny Ray Christian and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote this workbook because it disturbs me that a lot of individuals and communities are constantly living their lives in “Crisis Mode'' with little or no time and opportunity to realize their dreams. I believe a certain stigma is attached to those who are deemed by society (others) as always needing someone to rescue them from one crisis after another. Without naming names, I will say that for some this trend grows more prevalent with each passing generation. I want my family and peers to realize that we do not have to live on the edge as though we lack a foundation (culture) to stand on. There inevitably is more to all of us than our struggles but until we get past having our finger on the “Panic Button” we will not get a chance to display our audaciousness. I am confident that this “Crisis Counseling Workbook” can aid anyone whose life has gotten off track or who simply wants to succeed at creating a better life for themselves and their family, as well as improve the community they live in. “In the darkest hour, a pinprick of light is all that's needed to guide the lost home.” That said, please feel free to tweak this crisis counseling program to meet the particular needs and circumstances of those you are counseling.
Download or read book Medical Crisis Counseling written by Irene Pollin and published by W. W. Norton. This book was released on 1995 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly 15% of the US population has been diagnosed with a chronic medical condition. These patients - and their families - confront serious psychosocial challenges as they face living with a lasting medical illness. This is where medical crisis counseling (MCC) steps in. MCC is short-term intervention (1-10 sessions) that focuses on three critical, interacting areas in the patient's life: the disease, the emotional response, and the family's response. Four assumptions lie at the heart of MCC: The medical condition is the focus; medical crises are temporary and offer opportunities for learning; the adjustment issues faced by people with illness can be predicted; and people have strengths that help them identify and realize concrete goals. This book describes the MCC model and richly illustrates its therapeutic objectives and intervention techniques for each of the eight "expectable" issues of chronic illness: control, self-image, dependency, stigma, abandonment, anger, isolation, and death. Via numerous case examples, the impact of chronic illness on the patient's family members is described and methods are offered to promote better communication and adjustment around the medical problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is meant to help prepare your agency to perform some of the most challenging work: helping people through crisis. Dr. Brooks has worked in the mental health field for over thirty years with a specialty in crisis, and for the last ten years, she has been training counseling students in crisis intervention. Natural disasters, mass shootings, refugee crises, human sex trafficking, etc. show the growing need for individuals to be prepared to sit with others in their suffering. The need is growing, yet the workers are few. Dr. Brooks has recognized that more and more organizations, disciplines, and ministries are doing crisis intervention with little to no knowledge or understanding of the effects that working with people in crisis has on the crisis worker. This manual will help you gain a better understanding of how trauma effects an individual, as well as how working with people in crisis can affect the interventionist. This information can help you work more effectively by training you and your team members in self-sustainment. This Christian perspective of intervention will help you and your agency become more Christ-like in your approach by instilling a confidence and hope in the most horrific of circumstances, while still maintaining your strong faith in the goodness of God. The preventative practices provided in this manual will help prevent burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma for crisis interventionist.
