Unpacking trauma
Updated | By JacPod
Everyone has experienced trauma to some degree. We are living though through a traumatic time in history. In this week's Thrive with 'DrD', clinical psychologists Dorianne Weil and Hayden Knibbs unpack what trauma is and how to
support those affected by a trauma.
Trauma occurs when we experience a threatening event or period of time,
outside of our expectations of reality. In this podcast, we look at:
• What are the psychological and behavioural symptoms of trauma?
• How should we understand and deal with trauma?
• Is professional treatment always necessary?
• How long do the effects of trauma last without intervention?
• What is post-traumatic stress disorder and are there ways of preventing it?
• Do we have to re-confront the traumatic event in order to process it?
• What are the psychological and behavioural symptoms of trauma?
• How should we understand and deal with trauma?
• Is professional treatment always necessary?
• How long do the effects of trauma last without intervention?
• What is post-traumatic stress disorder and are there ways of preventing it?
• Do we have to re-confront the traumatic event in order to process it?
• Is it possible to find meaning and to recognise your own coping resources?
When we're talking about somebody [who's] traumatised, we're talking about one of the most vulnerable, exposed states.- Hayden Knibbs
