Jane is a nine year old girl who has been brought in to therapy by her mother for stealing, being destructive, lying, behaving aggressively toward her younger siblings, and acting cruelly to animals. Jane has also been acting clingy and affectionate toward strangers.

Trauma-informed care refers to a strength-based framework that is based on an understanding of the impact of trauma. This practice emphasizes on psychological, physical, and emotional safety for the providers, the survivors, and it creates an opportunity for the survivors to rebuild themselves and get a sense of control and empowerment. This practice is based on the growing knowledge about several negative impacts that are brought by psychological trauma (Withers, 2017). To understand more about trauma-informed care, this excerpt will examine what the concept entails, how one can change his or her practice to be more trauma-informed and incorporate Eric's experience in the discussion.

It will be important to conduct the trauma based assessment as early as possible. However, it is vital that a therapeutic rapport be established with the client before proceeding in asking questions regarding the trauma. It takes time for a traumatized individual to trust and be willing to disclose their experiences. When it is felt that the client is ready it is important to let the client know that they have the right to not answer questions. It is important to discuss why we are asking the questions and ensuring the client that we have their best interests in mind and can provide them with a safe and secure location to work through the trauma.

An apartment complex in Denver, Colorado is testing out a new approach to addressing homelessness by introducing trauma-informed care principles into housing.

In the third case study, Sarah suffered from sexual assault when a stranger broke into her home. Like physical abuse, sexual abuse is an interpersonal trauma, which causes the most severe outcomes because the trauma is intentional. Sarah feels ashamed and guilty about the assault. She questions whether she should have resisted the attacker more when he began advancing at her. She also feels as though it is her fault for playing her music to loud which caused her to not be able to hear the intruder. After the attack, she has felt stupid and dirty and she has begun withdrawing from others including her husband and children. She thinks about the event constantly and imagines different scenarios happening. She has started experiencing intrusive

The priority population is the staff of a school where I am introducing a trauma informed care program based on a prepared program based on A.C.E.S training. All of the school staff is included in this cultural shift. This is to insure that students will be consistently treated the same way whether they have an encounter with a cafeteria worker, a paraprofessional, or a teacher. The adults in the school will be the example and the leadership that models the program to the students and it will be important to involve in them implementation process.

While not a somatic assault, emotional abuse can cause lasting effects on a woman’s health, so much so that researcher, B. Van Houdenhove and others working on the project have found “that emotional abuse and neglect may be contributing factors to the development and/or severity of illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia” (Karakurt and Silver). Finally, emotional abuse is a rampant issue, Karakurt and Silver report that “Psychological aggression by an intimate partner was reported by 48.4% of women,” which was found in the National Intimate Partner & Sexual Violence Survey (“Emotional Abuse in Intimate Relationships: The Role of Gender and Age”). Nearly half of the population of women report being victims to psychological abuse, making it a widespread epidemic faced by not only women in dystopian novels but also real life. Psychological abuse can take many verbal and non-verbal forms, which can put great strain on a woman’s health, and affects nearly half the population of the United States.

Mama, however, is strong, spiritual and eager to help her children in any way she can. She values family above and beyond all else, but has the deep insight into the other character's motivations even when she doesn't agree. In the middle of the play (at the fuse for the final conflict), she recognizes that Walter is miserable because no one believes in him and his dreams. She gives him a large chunk of the insurance check to invest in a liquor store even thought she doesn't agree with it. She trusts him with it and, when he loses the money to a "trusted friend," she becomes enraged and begins to physically attack him. However, by the next scene she has forgiven him and tells her daughter that she should do the same; "There is always something to love: when do you think the time is to love somebody the most? It's when he's at his lowest and can't believe in hisself 'cause the world done whipped him so!" With those words, Mama seems to symbolize all that is good, solid and peaceful in the world.

When I decided to take the trauma course, I was hesitant at first to take it. I did not know what to expect nor felt I would be prepare listen to stories about traumatic occurrences, despite of the number of years I have worked in the field of community mental health. Therefore, now that we are in week eight, I am delighted to have taken this course. The impression I had at first, has changed my insight concerning what is trauma, as for many years, I did not understand why a person in many instances, could not process their trauma. In a quote by Chang stated, “The greater the doubt, the greater the awakening; the smaller the doubt, the smaller the awakening. No doubt, no awakening” (Van Der Kolk, 2014, p. 22). The goes in congruence with my understanding on trauma and how it has changed during this course. As a result, I feel I am awakening when acquiring more about trauma.

Women around the world are made victims of incest, rape, and domestic violence that in many cases leads to death.

The container that once held the suffering emotions breaks open. And, in turn, “the center cannot hold”. Eugene poisoned his family with his narcissism and abuse, and Beatrice could not take it any longer or see any other way out, which is why she poisoned him. But really, Eugene poisoned himself with his destructive and falsely justified

Thompson and colleagues (2009): Physical and sexual abuse was moderately positively correlated with positive symptom severity (especially grandiosity) among ethnic minority participants (N=17), while general trauma was positively correlated with affective symptoms among Caucasian participants (N=13).

For example, Celie developed a strong character and was now standing up for herself and Mr._______ now looked at Celie with other eyes and started to feel actual emotions towards her. In another case, Moraima Oyola took her situations as an experience for a positive outcome. Both had an alteration in their way of thinking and acting, which is why they are an example to other women. When receiving abuse of any kind women usually keep it to themselves because they fear things will get worst. Fortunately, in the society we are living today our laws protect us from this abuse. This is why my recommendation to women is to stand up and confront the situation, not necessarily with the abuser but with high forces that will ensure safety. No women nor men deserves to be disrespected or feel useless due to others. This is why I am a feminist, which according to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is “a person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the
