Study Notes
Understanding Developmental Trauma
- Developmental Trauma refers to the effects of early, recurrent trauma impacting significant relationships in a child's life.
- Common cases include children relinquished by birth parents, victims of abuse or neglect, and those removed from harmful home environments.
- Trauma can arise from multiple adverse experiences, including caregiver loss and bullying.
Effects of Developmental Trauma
- Traumatized children often remain in survival mode, making them hyper-responsive to perceived threats, such as transition between environments or increased volume.
- These children may be developmentally stuck in a primitive state, with limited access to higher brain functions essential for processing, reasoning, and social interaction.
- As a result, they struggle with sensory processing, coordination, and regulating bodily functions related to fear.
Signs of Sensory Issues
- At home:
- Dislike of specific foods and textures, avoidance of tactile experiences.
- Soothing behaviors like sucking or chewing.
- Restlessness and hyper-alertness, difficulty with personal routines.
- At school:
- Challenges in concentration, overwhelmed by stimulation.
- Coordination difficulties, poor handwriting skills, frequent zoning out.
Self-Concept and Identity Development
- Self-identity begins forming from initial messages received from caregivers; negative messages create a lasting impact.
- Children may feel disposable or unwanted, affecting their self-esteem and perception of relationships.
- Many chronically traumatized children experience deep confusion about their worth, leading to potential exploitation or superficial interactions.
Management and Recovery
- Relationships are crucial for healing; as Developmental Trauma occurs within relationships, it can also be repaired through them.
- Appropriate interventions delivered in the right context can facilitate healing over time.
- Resilience and adaptability are inherent in children; neuroscience shows that the brain can be restructured positively when given the right support.
