Study Notes
The Impact of Trauma on Mental Health
- Trauma is a significant psychological event with lasting effects
- Trauma can be associated with physical or sexual abuse, violence, natural disasters, or accidents
- Trauma can lead to PTSD, anxiety disorders, depression, and borderline personality disorder (BPD)
Assessing Trauma
- Clinicians assess trauma through a trauma-focused interview
- This involves evaluating the patient's trauma history and its impact on current functioning
- Common symptoms include hyperarousal (heightened alertness, irritability, difficulty sleeping), intrusive memories (flashbacks, nightmares)
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
- TF-CBT is a specialized approach to treating trauma
- It combines traditional CBT techniques with trauma-specific elements
- Exposure therapy is a component of TF-CBT
- Exposure therapy helps patients confront trauma-related memories and situations gradually, reducing emotional distress
Complex Trauma
- Complex trauma involves repeated traumatic events over a prolonged period (e.g., ongoing abuse, war zone)
- Individuals with complex trauma may experience more severe symptoms requiring more intensive interventions
