Lynne Edwards, LCSW 9

10 Trauma impacts how brain functions Neurological pathways or patterns that begin to form are based on what infants SEE, HEAR, TOUCH, SMELL and FEEL Your first set of associations becomes your template Presented by C. Lynne Edwards, LCSW 10

14 Children s behavior is state dependent-fear driven It s a message-an indication of an unmet, underlying emotional need Interventions require the use of relational rather than confrontational approaches Behavior problem is a relationship problem Presented by C. Lynne Edwards, LCSW 14

15 The younger the trauma, the more likely to use dissociation, rather than the flight or flee response Babies can t do either Presented by C. Lynne Edwards, LCSW 15

21 Presented by C. Lynne Edwards, LCSW 21

22 Lack of a continuous, predictable sense of self World is not a safe place to be I m a bad child; everything bad is my fault People who love you, hurt you and/or abandon you My feelings don t matter No one listens Presented by C. Lynne Edwards, LCSW 22

23 high risk behaviors Flight Fight Freeze Suppresses the child s voice Barriers to intimacy FEAR Alters brain chemistry Stops Empathy Shuts off cortex Presented by C. Lynne Edwards, LCSW 23

24 Pervasive feelings-fear and anxiety Core issues-grief, loss, rejection, attachment, control, guilt, identity Internalized beliefs-i m a bad kid, I can t trust adults, people who say they love you, hurt and/or leave you, the world is not a safe place to be, etc. Control issues-children feel so out of control they try to control everything in whatever way they can Presented by C. Lynne Edwards, LCSW 24

25 Sensory issues-sensitive to touch, loud noises, Delayed adaptive development Regulation of emotions-their brains can not shift from their emotions to their thought processes Pull/Push-come close, now go away; afraid of getting close High risk behaviors Presented by C. Lynne Edwards, LCSW 25

26 Children s learned developmental coping strategies can be a challenge for caregivers Presented by C. Lynne Edwards, LCSW 26

27 Pervasive feelings-fear and anxiety Core issues-grief, loss, rejection, attachment, control, guilt, identity Internalized beliefs-i m a bad person/parent, I can t trust adults, the world is not a safe place to be, etc. Control issues Delayed adaptive development Regulation of emotions High risk behaviors Presented by C. Lynne Edwards, LCSW 27

28 PLUS: Parents ability to make appropriate judgments about safety is compromised Trauma reminders presented in children s behaviors trigger extreme reactions. Tendency for parents to personalize their children s negative behavior which challenge attachment and can lead to ineffective or inappropriate discipline. Presented by C. Lynne Edwards, LCSW 28

29 Parents capacity to regulate their emotions is impaired. Parent s executive functioning is impaired which results in poor decision-making, problem solving or planning. Parent is more vulnerable to other life stressors. It s hard for them to form and maintain secure, trusting relationships Presented by C. Lynne Edwards, LCSW 29

30 Things, events, situations, places, sensations and even people connected with a traumatic event can trigger traumatic stress Being confused or mistaken about details Avoiding talk about anything remotely related to the traumatic event Withdrawal from ordinary activities to avoid being confronted by trauma reminders Presented by C. Lynne Edwards, LCSW 30
