This presentation is on the article titled, “Recovery Ranch”, by Tim Smith. This recovery facility caters to those with a number of ailments, including PTSD. This facility located in Nunnelly, TN offers a continuum of addiction treatment services. This outdoor facility allows the clients to participate in an array of recreational and leisure activities. Some treatments of PTSD are cognitive behavioral therapy and cognitive processing therapy. The ranch can be quite costly. Recovery ranch uses the social behaviors of the clients in order for their healing process to begin. This topic was chosen because the clients are able to partake in many nature activities and the participants are able to cope better with people that they can relate to. It

This theory proposes that a traumatic event produces maladaptive assumptions and beliefs about the world, other people, and the self that interfere with recovery (Schultz, Barnes-Proby, Chandra, Jaycox, Maher, & Pecora, 2012). CBITS uses cognitive-behavioral techniques (for example, psychoeducation, relaxation, social problem solving, cognitive restructuring, and exposure). Cognitive-behavioral therapies work to teach people skills to combat these underlying issues, including correction of maladaptive assumptions, processing the traumatic experience instead of avoiding it, learning new ways to reduce anxiety and solve problems, building peer and parent support, and building confidence to confront stress in the future (Schultz, et al.,

The second stage of recovery, according to Herman, is known as “remembrance and mourning” in which the victim “tell the story of her trauma” and therefore transforms that traumatic memory by “integrat[ing] it into the survivor’s life.” The principle of remembrance and mourning, but perhaps not remembrance and mourning itself, can be seen in Baby Sugg’s gatherings in the Clearing during which she encouraged her followers to “Cry. For the living and the dead. Just cry” and after they had weeped - for what is never exactly specified but it can be assumed that it is for their pasts - laughed, and danced, they were able to open their hearts to Baby Suggs, who preached self-love and empowerment, and be healed. But while these gathering were certainly cathartic, they were not able to fully tell their story in words, only in emotions and in order to reconstruct their story, it needs to be put into words. However, even though even though these gatherings didn’t

For me healing was a process that began with trust. Those four years had stripped me of my trust. I simply did not trust

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders describes posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as an acute stress disorder (2013). Individuals that experience this disorder are exposed to or have had an experience of near death or bodily harm (American Psychiatric Association. 2013). Evidence based therapy that has shown positive outcomes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which is based on changing behavior. The use of client-centered therapy can also be beneficial with this type of client if applied in addition to CBT. Joseph stated that a client-centered approach to PTSD could result in Post-traumatic growth (2004). Post-traumatic growth does not try to bring the client back to the original state before the trauma but bring the client beyond their previous level of functioning (Joseph, 2004). When a person experiences a trauma, they can have a myriad of emotions, it is the therapist responsibility to help the client make better sense of the issue and continue functioning in a normal manner. Not all traumas are alike and not all clients can be treated equally. The most significant aspect of treatment in helping this type of client is the approach the therapist takes which should include the temperament of the client and the goals the client seeks. Included here is an examination of a fictitious client that has experienced a trauma and the therapist care plan. The therapist

Resiliency describes a patient’s ability to return to base-line level of functioning after an illness or injury through use of compensatory and coping mechanisms (Lindell, Reimer, Swickard, Swickard, and Winkelman, 2014). This patient suffered the psychological trauma of losing her unborn baby as well as the physical threat to her own life all at the same time. She demonstrated admirable resiliency as she faced such unfathomable events. After two days of care and observation in the ICU, she was able to be discharged to home. It would certainly take time to experience the different stages of grief; however, she possessed an admirable faith that she, her husband, and their

Posttraumatic stress disorder is becoming an ever-growing topic off concern within the childhood and young adolescent community, this topic is brought up in multiple settings including school, child protective services, and the foster care system. PTSD in our youth can happen through numerous ways and does not always occur from physical or sexual abuse, it can occur through natural disasters or even community dysfunction however the effects from the trauma suffered can last a lifetime. “The most basic definition of Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric sequel to a stressful event or situation of an exceptionally threatening or catastrophic in nature.” (Kassam-Adams, & Winston, 2004, p.409).

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.

Full recovery is possible though. Although it requires addressing painful realities, it also entails discovering new inner strengths, a process that needs time, space and safety to begin.

Judith Lewis Herman’s Trauma and Recovery provides not only greater understanding of how a traumatic event may defined but also the ways in which the effects of the experience may have a significantly repressing effect on the present and future self. Traumatic events are impressing on the self because they overwhelm the conventional emotional and physical perceptions that humanity has adjusted and modified their selves to. As traumatic events generally involve threats to the emotional and physical self, they differ from common misfortunes as they confront the victim with the feeling of extreme terror and helplessness that in result causes the individual to perceive the experience as one that was out of their control. As Herman reiterates, according to the Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry, “The common denominator of psychological trauma is a feeling of “intense fear, helplessness, loss of control, and threat of annihilation” (Herman 104). However, it is the response to the traumatic event in the emotional or conscious self that may differ from one another as there are three differing reactions to the terror factor of trauma: hyper-arousal, intrusion, and disconnection. Throughout this essay the work of Judith Lewis Herman’s Trauma and Recovery as well as Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower will be utilized to illustrated the compromising effects a traumatic experience such as childhood sexual abuse may have on the development of a young teen and the ways in

In 2001, I began to encounter a rather turbulent and difficult period after my father passed away because of congestive heart failure. I attempted to reduce the negative effects of the
