What happens when you are in a situation in which it is not safe to fight back and it’s also not possible to escape? Why do many trauma survivors learn to freeze—and then escape in their own minds? What is dissociation?

"Few pastors are prepared to truly understand the impact of abuse and other forms of trauma when they begin their service...I wish I would have had this workbook years ago!"

Do you sometimes feel like your emotions control you…more than you control them? It is normal for trauma survivors to experience intense emotions that seem to come out of nowhere. In fact, trauma survivors tend to experience five distinct patterns with their emotions.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed because life really is overwhelming. This is especially true for trauma survivors. Sometimes our problems pile up higher than dirty laundry…and we don’t even know where to start. Sometimes the best way to manage overwhelming emotions is start troubleshooting our stressors—one bullet at a time!

Trauma activates our judgments and limits our options to fight, flight, and freeze. While these judgments and reactions are adaptive—and necessary—during periods of danger or crisis, they are ineffective ways of dealing with the rest of life. Distress tolerance skills were designed to replace unhelpful judgments with extreme acceptance and provide alternatives to fight, flight, and freeze, as well as other impulsive and destructive urges. - Dr. Reutter, The DBT Skills Workbook for PTSD and Trauma, Page 105 Get your copy here! https://amzn.to/3wDHqCg #workbookwednesday #mentalhealthmatters #DBT #DBTskills #DBTtherapy #psychologists #psychologystudent #psychologymajor #clinicalpsychology #clinicalpsychologist #PTSDawareness #PTSDrecovery #PostTraumaticStressDisorder #counselor #traumahealing #traumarecovery #traumacounselor #therapists #therapyworks

Since some states of mindlessness help us survive trauma, mindlessness truly is a gift of the mind (you won’t hear too many therapists tell you that!). However, mindlessness alone is also a rotten way to go through life. What if you were always reactive—to everything? What if you were always spacing out, even during your most cherished moments? What if you were always making quick, snappy, and sometimes very inaccurate judgments? -Dr. Reutter, The DBT Skills Workbook for PTSD and Trauma, Page 7 Get your copy today at https://bit.ly/2N6g9Gj #WorkbookWednesday #mentalhealthmatters #DBT #DBTskills #DBTtherapy #psychologists #psychologystudent #psychologymajor #clinicalpsychology #clinicalpsychologist #PTSDawareness #PTSDrecovery #PostTraumaticStressDisorder #counselor #traumahealing #traumarecovery #traumacounselor #therapists #therapyworks
