We chose to learn EMDR because we felt a deep connection to its potential to help those trapped by trauma. It wasn't part of our standard doctoral education but was something we pursued to better understand and address the root causes of issues like OCD, panic attacks, anxiety, and low self-esteem. By viewing these through the lens of trauma, we found a more resonant and effective approach for our patients, allowing us to offer deeper, more meaningful support.

Open Access paper from JCPP Advances Attentional development is altered in toddlers with congenital heart disease https://bit.ly/3xM6koq 'Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most common congenital abnormality. Survival rates are over 90%, however infants with CHD remain at high risk of attention and executive function impairments. These abilities are difficult to assess in toddlers because clinical assessments rely on language abilities which are commonly delayed in CHD. Our aim was to characterise visual attention in toddlers with CHD compared to controls and identify associations with parent-rated effortful control.' Author(s): Alexandra F.

If you are going to be trauma-informed then understand your clients dissociative clinical landscape. 🟠🟡🟢🔵🔴 Learn and grow your knowledge of dissociation with the color-coded Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) With all of the dissociation we are seeing as trauma therapists, we are asking that clients do the DES to assist with a better understanding of their clients clinical landscape. Colors represent the different aspects of dissociation. What are they? Yellow-Absorption🟡 Pink-Amnesia🔴 Teal-Depersonalization/Derealization🟢 Orange-Fantasy Prone🟠 and Blue-Ego States🔵 (according Dr. George Fraser) Learning for you and your client is essential as you process with a follow-up clinical interview in your session. Standard color-coded DES 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gXizNTme Spanish color-coded DES 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g-2MCkXU Adolescent color-coded DES 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gY2UV42X INTERVIEW CLIENT ON QUESTIONS WITH A RESPONSE OF 20% OR HIGHER. BRING RESULTS TO CONSULTATION. Q1: Can you give me some examples of how you experience this aspect of dissociation? Q2: Does this aspect help you with or does it get in the way of your functioning? Can you give me some examples? Q3: At what age did you first notice these experiences? What was happening in your life at that time? This will assist you with determining a treatment plan.

Trauma-Informed Community Engagement When convening a community coalition to address substance use and co-occurring mental illness, it is vital that we take a trauma-informed approach. The CDC defines six (6) principles of a Trauma-Informed Approach to community building: 1. SAFETY – prevents violence across the lifespan and creates safe physical environments. 2. TRUSTWORTHINESS – fosters positive relationships among residents, city hall, law enforcement, schools, and others. 3. EMPOWERMENT – ensures opportunities for growth are available to all. 4. COLLABORATION – promotes involvement of residents and partnerships among agencies. 5. PEER SUPPORT – engages residents to work together on issues of common concern. 6. HISTORY, GENDER, CULTURE – values and supports history, culture, and diversity. #addiction #recovery #prevention #trauma #nostigma #noshame

This week, our Mosaic of Healing focuses on Trauma-Informed Approaches. A trauma-informed perspective is like viewing our mosaic through a lens that reveals the hidden impacts of trauma on every piece. It recognizes that trauma affects not just survivors but also our organizations, communities, and ourselves. Key aspects of a trauma-informed approach: 🔹 Normalizes human responses to trauma 🔹 Emphasizes the quality of interactions in the healing process 🔹 Guides how to reduce further traumatization at all organizational levels 🔹 Views trauma responses as adaptations to being under siege 🔹 Creates environments that support resilience and well-being 🔹 Acknowledges the need to support staff and create opportunities for growth What has helped you as you’ve navigated trauma?

🌱 Trauma-Informed Grounding Techniques for Emotional Resilience 🌱 In moments of stress or overwhelm, grounding techniques can be powerful tools for regaining a sense of safety and calm. Trauma-informed grounding methods are designed with compassion and mindfulness, ensuring they meet you where you are. Here's how they can help: 💡 What Are Grounding Techniques? They are practices that anchor you to the present, soothing your nervous system when emotions run high. 💜 Trauma-Informed Grounding Tips: 1️⃣ 5-4-3-2-1 Technique: Identify 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, and 1 you can taste. 2️⃣ Deep Breathing: Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 6. This helps regulate your heartbeat. 3️⃣ Safe Space Visualisation: Picture a place where you feel secure and calm—imagine all the details. 4️⃣ Name It to Tame It: Acknowledge your feelings without judgment: “I feel anxious, but I am safe.” 5️⃣ Weighted Objects: Use a weighted blanket or hold an object to feel physically grounded. 🌟 Why Trauma-Informed? These methods emphasise choice, gentleness, and respect for your boundaries. They recognise that what calms one person might not work for another. 🔗 Taking small steps to care for your mental health can have a profound impact on your well-being. What are your favorite grounding practices? Let’s share and grow together! 💬 #TraumaInformedCare #MentalHealthMatters #GroundingTechniques #SelfCareJourney 4o
