Book excerpt: Strategic Trauma and Abuse Recovery® is an evidence-informed, spiritually integrated, structured process for conducting education about trauma recovery and treatment. The Backbone of S.T.A.R. is The 3 Progressive Phases of Trauma and Abuse Recovery©. These 3 phases are further broken down into 12 stages, which provides for transitions and breaks down the process in a simpler fashion. The stages provide a strategy for moving through the healing process, much like a map. It gives both providers and clients a structure to use as they move together through the healing process. Research is currently being conducted to move this model to evidence-based status and certification is available. 1.Source-focused as suggested by SAMHSA's Trauma Best-Practices standards.2.Built around the elements suggested by research on the Contextual Model and includes a healing setting, a believable and acceptable explanation or rationale for the problems the client is experiencing and a specific method for resolving them, a safe, emotionally charged relationship with a healer or healing person, and a structured procedure or ritual which requires the involvement of both the client and the healer to bring about the cure or healing, (Wampold, et al, 2009).3.Follows the 3 phases of recovery identified by Judith Herman (1997), safety, grieving, and reconnecting.4.Utilizes structured writing that focuses on actual historical traumatic events which has been found to be as effective as EMD/R (Largo-Marsh, and Spates, 2002) and has shown to have a significant health impact (Pennebaker and Stone p. 204, 2004).5.The processing structure facilitates relationship factors suggested by the American Psychological Association, Division 29 (2000), 6.Spiritually integrated. Spiritually integrated means that, in this case, specifically Christian integrated. However, counselors are expected to use the model to meet their clients where they are.

Download or read book Trauma and Addiction written by Tian Dayton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past decade, author Tian Dayton has been researching trauma and addiction, and how psychodrama (or sociometry group psychotherapy) can be used in their treatment. Since trauma responses are stored in the body, a method of therapy that engages the body through role play can be more effective in accessing the full complement of trauma-related memories. This latest book identifies the interconnection of trauma and addictive behavior, and shows why they can become an unending cycle. Emotional and psychological pain so often lead to self-medicating, which leads to more pain, and inevitably more self-medicating, and so on--ad infinitum. This groundbreaking book offers readers effective ways to work through their traumas in order to heal their addictions and their predilection toward what clinicians call self-medicating (the abuse of substances [alcohol, drugs, food], activities [work, sex, gambling, etc.] and/or possessions [money, material things].) Readers caught up in the endless cycle of trauma and addiction will permanently transform their lives by reading this book. Therapists treating patients for whom no other avenue of therapy has proved effective will find that this book offers practical, lasting solutions. Case studies and examples of this behavioral phenomenon will illustrate the connection, helping readers understand its dynamics, recognize their own situations and realize that they are not alone in experiencing this syndrome. The author deftly combines the longstanding trauma theories of Van der Kolk, Herman, Bowlby, Krystal and others with her own experiential methods using psychodrama, sociometry and group therapy in the treatment of addiction and posttraumatic stress disorder. While designed to be useful to therapists, this book will also be accessible to trade readers. It includes comprehensive references, as well as a complete index.

Download or read book Understanding Religious Abuse and Recovery written by Patrick J. Knapp and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently there are at least four major, identifiable perspectives on how people best understand and recover from religious abuse. Both secular and faith-based (Christian) adherents can be variously identified in each of these approaches. This book examines these viewpoints and evaluates their various strengths and limitations. It concludes that each perspective is helpful to the extent possible, given the limitations of its respective philosophic or theological assumptions. This book summarizes each viewpoint and suggests a larger contextual perspective, helpful to better understand involvement in and recovery from religiously abusive environments. The conclusion is an integration of the various conceptual frameworks, and a different model (SECURE) is described that includes essential principles and practical strategies necessary for recovery from religious abuse. Suggestions are made for future research and study both for academics with interest in the cultic studies and counseling fields, and for various people negatively affected by religious abuse and in need of recovery.

This book was released on 2014-01-20 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonverbal interactions are applied to trauma treatment for more effective results. The model of treatment developed here is grounded in the physical, psychological, and cognitive reactions children have to traumatic experiences and the consequences of those experiences. The approach to treatment utilizes the integrative capacity of the brain to create a self, foster insight, and produce change. Treatment strategies are based on cutting-edge understanding of neurobiology, the development of the brain, and the storage and retrieval of traumatic memory. Case vignettes illustrate specific examples of the reactions of children, families, and teens to acute and repeated exposure to traumatic events. Also presented is the most recent knowledge of the role of the right hemisphere (RH) in development and therapy. Right brain communication, and how to recognize the non-verbal symbolic and unconscious, affective processes will be explained, along with examples of how the therapist can utilize art making, media, tools, and self to engage in a two-person biology.

Download or read book Trauma and Recovery written by Judith Lewis Herman and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book, a leading clinical psychiatrist redefines how we think about and treat victims of trauma. A "stunning achievement" that remains a "classic for our generation." (Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., author of The Body Keeps the Score). Trauma and Recovery is revered as the seminal text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a broader political frame, Harvard psychiatrist Judith Herman argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war. Hailed by the New York Times as "one of the most important psychiatry works to be published since Freud," Trauma and Recovery is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand how we heal and are healed.
