6 Presenting problems Psychological Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (re-experiencing, avoidance, negative cognition and mood, arousal) Anxiety (difficulty concentrating, irritability, sleep disturbance) Depression (diminished interest, low mood, reduced appetite) Spiritual abandoned by God, by her faith Physical psychosomatic pain, headaches, lethargy, fatigue
7 Common idioms of distress Individual level Enkadai Thalaivithi (This is my fate) Naangal enna paavam seythom? (What sins have we committed?) Family level Yatrayo naruru (Someone s evil eye) Community level Ketkirathuku orutharum illai (No-one is left to ask questions)
8 Formulation Transgenerational trauma and family Genetic Epigenetic inheritance (passed down to children) Biological pre-disposition Environment Oral traditions e.g. the world is a dangerous place (taught to children) Denial of identity Institutionalised racism Economic deprivation
9 Formulation Transgenerational trauma and community Despair vs hope Senselessness vs meaning Loss of communality Alienation Uprooting Displacement Passivity vs taking charge/taking control back Destruction in traditions, culture and institutions Collective trauma Polarisation of community Secrecy vs sharing
10 Case Formulation: Complex Interaction International event stressors Trauma reactions Protective factors (internal and external) Aroche and Coello, 1994 Exile, migration, resettlement stressors, cultural transition Normal life cycle stressors Recovery environment stressors Cultural / Religious Aspects Social Political Background
11 Interventions overview Narrative Exposure Therapy Cognitive Behavioural Therapy strategies Exploring rituals, traditional methods of mourning and healing Identifying cultural idioms of distress and patterns of survival
12 Interventions Common idioms of survival Nadukirathu nadakattum (What ever happens, let it happen) Enkalukum oru kalam varum (Our time will also come) Pillaihalukkaha valathan venum (We have to live for our children)
13 Interventions springboard for therapy If you had a magic wand and you could change the impact the traumatic event had on your family in any way you wanted to, how would your family look? How would your relationships between family members be different? What would be the same? How do you believe that your family s cultural background, social values, religious/spiritual values impacted your ability to cope with the traumatic events? How are they helping you now? Many have great stories of both success and struggles. What is your story? What were the challenges on your path to success? How did you cope with the struggles?
14 Treatment progress Safety and rapport (psycho-education) Assessment (family trauma history, family of origin, nuclear family, understanding cultural and historical values) Skills and tools (psycho-education, narrative therapy, CBT strategies, culturally appropriate work) Self compassion Self acceptance Self care Reconnection (family, community, society)
15 Conclusion & outcome Outcomes New ways of thinking and reviewing traditional boundaries Changes in parenting style Reduction in anxiety Challenges Survivor guilt and transgenerational trauma Uncertainty regarding future Where to from here? Anxiety reduction Rebuilding and strengthening identity through meaningful social connections
