Trauma In Inception

For my final reflection paper, I would like to discuss vicarious trauma and its implications. This topic has stuck with me ever since we learned about it earlier in the semester. It is something that I fear will impact me during my work as a counselor. While I do not intend to deal exclusively with trauma patients, I cannot control who walks through my doors so it is in my best interest to understand ways to protect against vicarious trauma. My initial reaction to this topic was, “oh that does not bother me” or “I won’t have a problem with that,’ but as trauma seeped into my personal life it became apparent hat it does in fact bother me. Dealing with my cousins’ trauma this semester and trying my best to be helpful and supportive has proven to be more difficult then original thought.

I. Introduction Awakenings was directed by Penny Marshall and It was written by Oliver Sacks and Steven Zaillan. The main Character was Robin Williams as Dr.Malcolm Sayer. In the movie awakenings, Dr.Malcolm Sayer discover a positive effects of the drug L-dopa to the catatonic patients who survived the disease called Encephalitis lethargica, According to (NORD 07) ‘Encephalitis lethargica is a disease characterized by high fever, headache, double vision, delayed physical and mental response, and lethargy.

A trauma informed model of practice should centre upon a perspective that asks the client user ‘what happened to you’ rather than ‘what is wrong with you’ (Bloom and Farragher). This approach promotes the base line for which the service should be impliemented; an approach which enable to cliet to connect how their trauma has influence their behaviour, feelings, coping mechanisim and general perspective (Felitti et al. 1998). Staff within the home should have a good degree of trauma informed care as this enable for a deeper understanding of how the trauma can impact upon the individual and allow for holistic care (Harris and Fallot, 2001) and enables better support and help reduce to protential for re-tramatisation via triggers and uncousious re-enactment of trauma (SAMHSA, 2010). Implementing the above approach the client can receive the holistic carer they require in order to begin to overcome the trauma they have experienced.

When a person is sent to a war of any kind it causes some mental problem. They would have trauma and have an illusion of all sorts. In the novel, Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut shows references of the main character Billy Pilgrim traveling through time and being abduct by aliens. Throughout the stories Billy has experiences what it seem like trauma because there are many moments where it made no sense. Vonnegut use the science-fiction to explain Billy’s experiences and that’s how Billy deal with his traumatic episodes.

The incident is in its fifth day with little to no change in status. Dykes continues to be demanding and disinterested in offering any concessions and continuing his initial demands. Dykes is now giving deadlines for which he intends to escalate with violence. We feel the justification for preparation of a plan to assault due to this lack of change is necessary.

‘The politics of Trauma’ by Richards J. McNally talks about trauma and how it affects its victims. Scientists that tried going deep to find out more about trauma of rape victims and mostly war veterans who suffered from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)  got in trouble with the political forces because to them it is anti war and no one should talk about it. He talks about the terms ‘victim’ and ‘survivor’ and what they imply. The traditional form is victim as it means someone who suffered from a crime or accident. However some people does not like the term victim but rather survivor because to them survivors hold more of a positive connotation than victim but there are some who doesn't like that term either because it usually refers to

Debbie had many risk factors involved in her childhood and as she continued to grow up. One risk factor that had impacted her childhood family is that of social acceptance of violence. Debbie’s parents were not only accepting of the violence between their children but they were also promoting it. These violent views and values put Debbie at risk for child maltreatment and abuse as well as social and emotional issues as an adult. Debbie was in a higher risk of maltreatment being the youngest girl then that of her brothers and older sister.

According to webMD studies show that early intervention with people who have suffered from trauma may reduce some of the symptoms of PTSD or even prevent it all together. A prevention of PTSD saves people from going through the things they go through when experiencing PTSD. According to National Institute Of Mental Health Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder ( PTSD) is a mental health condition that’s triggered by a terrifying event either experiencing it or witnessing it. PTSD comes from the mental and emotional state of a person and the effect that the trauma that person went through has on their mind. Anyone at any age can develop PTSD. Women are more likely to experience PTSD than men some sources even say that they are twice as likely to

He underwent major back surgery which with a miracle it was a huge success and got him back on his feet. After a long recovery process from the surgery and still battling this illness we finally found out what was wrong. He is one of four people in the world to have a illness called perm disease. The best feeling in the world was when they came out and told me they have found the problem and that it was treatable. After sending his blood work all the way to London UK, they found it. It was a miracle. To look at him then I was bracing myself to say goodbye. Leaving him in the hopsital in a different city every night was tougher than imaginable. But, looking at him today it's like nothing happened he's back to normal. Through this process I talked to many doctors, nurses, family and friends.

Almost weekly, we are faced hear of a large-scale crisis, as well as a low scale. The impact that these traumatic events are having on children cannot be ignored. It is becoming apparent of the ongoing need of addressing crises, trauma, and the effects on children. The need for crisis intervention services; especially for children is necessary. However, not every child who has experienced trauma needs a trauma-focused treatment. As such there are some traumatic experiences that indicate the need for an immediate referral (Myer, Peterson, & Willow 2002). For the counselor, it is important to understand the meaning of the event for the child and from there to develop and intervention plan with the goal of helping

Also, most of these women who survived the genocide experienced personal trauma resulting from the injuries suffered from all the violence done against them and their families. In the documentary, “Worse than War, we saw a group of women who recall how traumatized it was for them to see Hutus exterminated their brothers and parents. After this incident they recalled in the video that they had hard time trying to understand how their neighborhood were able to killed their relatives. By watching the video, I could see in the of these women how disturbed, and traumatized they were. They were survivors of the genocide but yet they trauma and humiliation they experienced at the hands of Hutus were still present in their lives. This will have a direct

The case study is focused on a couple; Amupanda and Jonas that has recently started with couple’s therapy. During the therapy Amupanda revealed symptoms of that affected their relation and indicated past sexual abuse, this showing that Amupanda has been traumatized by a certain event that has taken place in her life that has caused a disturbance in her life. Amupanda has not received any treatment helping her cope with the trauma. In the assignment I will be discussing what trauma is as well as vulnerability furthering to the effects and responses of trauma and the different interventions and referral resources there is to help with the Trauma Healing Intervention.

The authors presented information surrounded around the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, treatment and overall changes of health symptoms in women. Negative and positive symptoms were studied and consisted of things like exercise, healthy eating habits, and smoking to see if those things played a role or interfered with the effects of treatment on PTSD.

I strongly agree that trauma informed care training should be required of every healthcare professional. It will gain a healthcare professional a greater sensitivity and deeper understanding in the field they are in. Trauma applies to everybody in the healthcare. The prevalent nature of trauma means that there’s a good chance that the person a healthcare provider is caring for, or even themselves experienced or currently suffering some kind of a trauma at some level in their lives. Trauma is difficult to understand it can be viewed narrowly but must be understood broadly, taking into account such as biological factors, physiological factors, interpersonal factors, community and societal factors.
