Trauma can be caused by a single event or prolonged exposure to traumatic events and can produce psychological and physical symptoms. Trauma can also result from indirectly experiencing traumatic events such as witnessing an accident. Symptoms of trauma and PTSD emerged in many people after 9/11 even if they were not directly involved. Trauma therapy aims to help people come to terms with their direct or indirect experiences and heal from symptoms by exploring the reasons for their trauma in a secure environment at their own pace. The goal is to help people trust themselves and others to live a happier, healthier life.

Compassion fatigue is the normal physiological and emotional reaction to hearing about another person’s trauma. This exhaustion creates a limited ability to empathise with others in both our personal and professional lives. In the world of substance use disorders, we often see it in our colleagues before we see it in ourselves. This interactive workshop will create ways to care for ourselves while still caring for others and develop action plans for self-care and compassion.

Stress vs. anxiety: How to tell the differencePeter Max
Stress and anxiety are a natural part of the fight or flight response and the body’s reaction to danger. The purpose of this response is to ensure a person is alert, focused, and ready to deal with a threat.
Every day we’re inundated with horrific videos and images of violence on our social media timelines. While most of us will remain unaffected, there is a large portion of the population who find themselves in the midst of a PTSD episode just browsing Facebook. With digital well being in its infancy, it is time for designers and technologists to look to health and wellness to learn about trauma informed care. Join interaction designer and rape survivor Theresa Slate as she introduces us to what Trauma Informed Design is and why it’s important.

Jan Rakoff, LCSW
Trauma can occur from a single event, such as a natural disaster or sexual assault, or from
prolonged exposure to a series of traumatic events, such as parental neglect throughout your
childhood. Usually however, trauma occurs as a result of physical, sexual, psychological, verbal,
and/or emotion abuse, which produces distressing and uncomfortable feelings, especially when
the traumatic event is “triggered” or re-lived.
Often these feelings are not just psychological in nature, as they can involve physical symptoms
such as a general uneasiness around others, reoccurring nightmares, debilitating anxiety and
severe distractibility. However (and contrary to popular belief), one can also experience trauma
by indirectly being involved in a traumatic event (i.e. witnessing an upsetting or disturbing
occurrence).
A prime example of this is the horrific events that took place on 9/11. After 9/11, many people
(besides the close friends and family members of the victims) experienced symptoms of trauma
and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), for which they sought therapy. Therefore, simply
watching a traumatic event, either in person or on your television, can affect you in ways that
you may not be able to explain. Whereas some people experience the debilitating symptoms of
trauma immediately following the traumatic incident, others will take years to develop any
symptoms at all.
If you feel a lack of confidence or self-esteem, or experience more serious symptoms such as
panic attacks, depression, claustrophobia, substance abuse, and difficulty maintaining close
relationships with others, you will likely benefit greatly from this form of therapy. The purpose of
this type of therapy is to help you come to terms with the experience(s) you directly or indirectly
faced.
As you can imagine, this is an extremely difficult thing to do, since it involves thinking and
speaking about an experience you would like to forget ever happened. In fact, many who seek
out this type of therapy find it too overwhelming and consequently discontinue therapeutic
sessions due to the painful memories therapy has evoked for them. Only you as an individual
can decide whether or not this type of therapy is right for you and whether or not you are ready
to begin this type of therapy. Healing trauma usually takes a long time and requires many
therapy sessions in order to help you feel better about yourself and your life. However, with
Grief and Trauma Therapy, you have the ability to control the pace of the therapeutic process.
This helps you to feel at ease, and simultaneously increases the confidence you have in
yourself and your ability to be your own self-change agent.
I will be there to provide you with ongoing support by creating a secure, trusting environment in
which you feel comfortable and safe. Together, we will explore the reasons behind your
traumatic symptoms and how you have previously (prior to seeking therapy) dealt with them.
Accepting the fact that our past does not dictate our future is a difficult obstacle to overcome,
