What emotional, physical, and psychological effects might there be on those who have experienced traumatic events? How does neurodiversity, culture, and individual experience affect trauma responses? How can you support someone experiencing symptoms of trauma?
The Psychology of Trauma integrates the knowledge and research from clinical practice and neuroscience to offer a scientific approach to understanding and managing symptoms of trauma. It debunks the myths and prejudices around trauma-informed therapy, shifting people’s view from ‘What’s wrong with you?’ to ‘What happened to you?’, and provides an overview of the different concepts and counselling approaches that are most suitable to support working with trauma. It also explores how neurodiversity, cultural differences, or social contexts affect the way we respond to any trauma.
Using a trauma-informed framework, The Psychology of Trauma explores how clinical understanding can help family and community to support the journey of recovery It provides an overview of key aspects around trauma-informed practices and principles whilst shining a light on new and emerging treatments for trauma.
