TRAUMA AND LOSS KIWEWE HASARA

DEFINITION Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event  Injury.  Accident  Rape.  Natural disaster.  Physical stress including abuse or neglect.  Emotional/psychological neglect or abuse.  The loss of parents, siblings, relatives, friends and neighbors.  Institutionalization is a particular type of trauma.

TRAUMA TYPES One-time incidents like accidents, natural disasters, crimes, surgeries, deaths, and other violent events. Chronic or repetitive experiences such as child abuse, neglect, combat, urban violence, battering relationships. As traumatic as One-time incidents are, the repetitive experiences result in the most serious mental and health problems.

EMOTIONAL/PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF TRAUMA  Trauma Overwhelms (kuzidiwa) the individual and damages his/her ability to cope.  Daily tasks of living ( Getting out of bed, working, studying)  Changes. (moving to a new house/school, birth of a child in the family)  Life tasks. (relationships, communication)  Trauma Does not allow a person to grow and develop to their maximum potential.  A person feels emotionally, and physically overwhelmed by life experiences.

MYTHS WRONG PERCEPTIONS OF CHILDREN'S TRAUMA 1) The effects of abuse/neglect and other traumas to young children will “vanish” as long as they are in a loving home. 2) If a child has no cognitive memory of a loss, they have no long lasting effects. PRESENTED BY C. LYNNE EDWARDS, LCSW

MYTHS 3) There is nothing that parents or anyone can do to change the impact of their child’s early traumatic experiences. 4) Behavior can best be managed by rules and punishment. PRESENTED BY C. LYNNE EDWARDS, LCSW

EXPERIENCE OF TRAUMA Trauma is experienced through the body, mind and spirit and has a long term impact. 7

RESPONSE TO TRAUMA AFFECTED BY…  Child’s age  Child’s perception of the danger  Whether the child was a victim or witness  Child’s past experience with trauma  Child’s relationship to the attacker  Presence/availability of adults to help 8
