EVALUATING my PATIENTS TRAUMAS- in order to develop my patient’s possible plan.

Children take responsibility for everything that happens to them, they see their parents as supreme authorities.  They may suffer from either shock or strain traumas or both. I have been taught to learn as much as possible about my patient’s past and current history to understand what they have internalized, come to believe, and adapted to.

I am looking for both the shock and strain traumas.

Shock Trauma or sudden catastrophes. –  Patients believe they are being punished for bad action.  They become guilty and omnipotent.  They see danger everywhere.  Vigilance is required and it is impossible for them to relax.

Strain Trauma or continuing protracted trauma occurs within a pathogenic relationship over time.  Patients come to believe that there is no hope or help for them.
