For a lot of people with Childhood PTSD, talking about traumatic memories can make symptoms worse -- worse than if we were to do nothing at all. Yet talking about the past is the default mode of therapy for virtually everyone who is depressed, anxious or troubled about the past. It's true that talking can be crucial to emotional healing. But there is a lot of research that supports WRITING as a more effective way to communicate past trauma and relieve symptoms of Childhood PTSD. In this...
By A. Hosack, P. Berman, & K. Hecht Maybe he’s never coming back? I’ve lost the only man who could ever love me! Claire is sad and lonely. She hasn’t heard from Larry in the last month; maybe he will never call her again! She keeps dreaming about the times she had sex with him and how warm and good his body smelled. What was she going to do without him? Thoughts of being alone for life kept mixing in her dreams with fears of flunking out of school when it started. She was way too stupid...
30 years ago, Dr. Shapiro was walking through a park when she noticed that her eyes started to move from side-to-side rapidly when she was thinking about something upsetting. Then she noticed that when these thoughts came up again, they didn't have the same power to upset her. That was the beginning of what has now evolved into an evidence-based practice for resolving trauma. At the Echo conference in Los Angeles on March 18 & 19, 2019, you will learn about EMDR from Ana Gomez, who was...
On January 30th, I woke up before dawn to drive around East Oakland and count all the homeless people I could find. I was one of the 600 volunteers who participated in the 2019 Point-in-Time (PIT) homeless count for Alameda County, California. The PIT count is a nationwide effort to tally the number of unsheltered Americans living on the street on a single night in January. It began in 2003 and happens every two years. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires...
While some scholars may attribute persistence to a need for control, I like to take the stance with those who look at persistence as a will to not give up. More and more research is emerging on resilience and its positive impact in off-setting ACEs (adverse childhood experiences), even learned resilience skills in adulthood.
We have options when it comes to adapting to change. Taking positive steps toward change ultimately helps to broaden a person’s emotional window of tolerance. Facing change supports healing, and ultimately helps enhance one's life experience.
The number of deaths from alcohol, drugs and suicide in 2017 hit the highest level since federal data collection started in 1999, according to an analysis of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data by two public health nonprofits. The national rate for deaths from alcohol, drugs and suicide rose from 43.9 to 46.6 deaths per 100,000 people in 2017, a 6 percent increase, the Trust for America's Health and the Well Being Trust reported Tuesday. That was a slower increase than in the...
By K. Hecht, A. Hosack, & P. Berman The future seemed so wonderful to imagine. Even Larry had re-entered Claire’s life. Larry had a job at a local bar as a bouncer; he had been working for a year and had saved up and now had a car. When he first showed up at the Carsons , Claire was so surprised he had been able to find her! It made her feel so happy and loved that he would search for her. Claire assumed it was another sign her future was bright. Larry was earning enough money to take...
