The Trauma Bond
24
Exposure to a severe incident(s) that is repetitive or prolonged. Incidents involve captivity in which escape is viewed as impossible. Incidents occur in combination with coercive control.
25
Exposure to a severe incident that is repetitive or prolonged Is considered cumulative, meaning it is multiple traumas on top of each other. Changes the structure of the brain, creating overwhelming anxiety, fear and helplessness. Affects the normal development of children and adolescents.
26
Isolation & Dependency
27
Reduces an internal sense of power and control. Intensifies feelings of powerlessness and helplessness. Increases the likelihood of re- victimization.
29
Persistent feelings of helplessness, anxiety, powerlessness, and fear. Guilt, anger, and shame overshadow feelings of safety. Changes in the brain during the trauma remain intact, driving poor problem-solving and decision-making. Medical problems directly related to trauma as well as somatic symptoms such as chronic headaches. Continued vulnerability to re-victimization. Tools used to survive the trauma are now unhealthy and lead to increased problems. Issues are complicated by addiction as a form of avoidance and emotional numbing. Difficulty trusting others or recognizing cues of safety.
