Ep. 28 Defining trauma, healing & moving forward with psychotherapist, Larry Shushansky, LICSW

  • Resumen

  • Trauma is a response to an intensely stressful event(s) or situations. The effects can be long-lasting, but healing is possible. For todays episode I invited Psychotherapist, Larry Shushansky to answer all of our questions around trauma. With over 45 years as a physiotherapist Larry has helped hundreds of individuals process and navigate past traumatic experiences. Within the 22q community trauma is a common occurrence so I wanted to ask Larry how we can recognize trauma and begin the healing process. 70% of adults in the U.S. have experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lives. Trauma is less about the event and more about how you responded. But some events are more likely to lead to trauma than others. •••••••••••••••••••  Within this episode we discussed: Define Trauma.What are the mental and physical effects of trauma?Causes and types of trauma.Emotional trauma: The feelings traumatic events leave us with. Characterized by feeling unsafe in one’s body, emotional trauma can alter our brain function and lead to an overarching sense of hopelessness.Complex trauma: A series of traumatic events that can have a lasting impact.Secondary trauma. Also known as vicarious trauma, secondary trauma refers to being a witness to trauma. Witnessing a traumatic event can impact your emotional health and is deserving of support, empathy, and compassion. What mental health conditions are associated with trauma?How to heal from trauma? ⁠Some book recommendations for understanding and healing trauma include:“The Body Keeps the Score” by Bessel van der Kolk, MD“It Didn’t Start With You” by Mark Wolynn“Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Overcoming Internal Self-Alienation” by Janina Fisher, PhD“Trauma and Recovery” by Judith Lewis Herman, MD“The Complex PTSD Workbook” by Arielle Schwartz, PhD“Trauma and the Body” by Pat Ogden, PhD“What Happened to You?
