Emotional flashback? (Panic/anxiety/shame attack?) Things to try right now! Corvallis Oregon

Emotional flashback? (Panic/anxiety/shame attack?) Things to try right now! Corvallis Oregon

by Michaela Lonning. I work with people in downtown Corvallis Oregon and worldwide via Internet video. http://michaelas-counseling.com Emotional flashbacks are moments where you feel an emotion or a mixture of emotions, sensations, and impulses that are linked to a time in your past. They are more amorphous than a flashback to a specific time of trauma, and may instead be associated with a time period in your life that contained many moments of neglect, abuse, chaos, or rage. Emotional flashbacks can make you feel rejected, alone, despairing, enraged, lost, and like this moment is the only truth in the whole world. Emotional flashbacks are also an opportunity. A flashback like this is like a post card from your inner child, saying, "Pssst! Hey, this is how it felt for me and still feels sometimes. Help me!" You can do some of your most effective inner child work ever by bringing your compassionate attention to that self as you're having a flashback. If the emotions feel too tangled or it's tough to connect with that child you just yet, you can still use this next flashback tool: Focus on your sensations and notice what's going on in your body. Whatever the physical sensation is, try doing something that evokes a different sensation, even the opposite sensation! If you feel coldness, take a hot bath or make a hot tea or chocolate (or warm up some milk!). If you're feeling contact-deprived and abandoned, hold yourself. If it's a very young memory, rocking may help you. Flashbacks are nuisances, and they can be agonizing. They also offer us an opportunity to heal parts of ourselves that we may have forgotten about. Use this emotional flashback as an opportunity for healing.

Five Myths about PTSD
05:01

Five Myths about PTSD

This video describes five myths of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Myth number one is that any event can count as a trauma when diagnosing posttraumatic stress disorder. I think part of this myth is this idea of over-pathologizing. The idea that the DSM is really too broad and pretty much any event can count as a trauma. If we look at the qualifying trauma area of the definition of PTSD in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, we see that it is appropriate in terms of what types of events. Myth number two is that with PTSD comes a higher risk of violence now in order to understand why this is a myth you really have to understand that PTSD often times does not occur in isolation of other mental health symptoms particularly substance use disorders seem to come occur with pts a lot of times we think the PTSD symptoms come back first and then as a way of managing those symptoms sometimes people turn to substances so when you look at PTSD as a whole yes there is an increased risk of violence with post-traumatic stress disorder but when you control for other comorbid mental health disorders like substance use disorders and other mental illnesses PTSD doesn't carry any increased risk of violence Myth number three is that when a traumatic event occurs the symptoms are always immediately evident. We know that sometimes the symptoms come about fairly quickly after a trauma. There's even another disorder called acute stress disorder, which is really designed to deal with these symptoms. For an individual to have posttraumatic stress disorder the symptoms would have to be present for one month or more. The symptoms of PTSD can occur months after trauma and sometimes even years after a trauma. This is called “delayed expression,” and even though it's not particularly common we do see it once in a while. Myth number four is that traumatic exposure through television or pictures doesn't count as a qualifying trauma. Work-related exposures would count as part of this definition. Myth number five is that a diagnosis of PTSD can occur immediately following a trauma. There's another disorder called acute stress disorder. When we see symptoms of PTSD immediately after a trauma oftentimes we're looking at acute stress disorder and not posttraumatic stress disorder. By definition, a diagnosis of PTSD cannot be given until at least one month after a traumatic event.
What is Secondary Traumatic Stress?
07:30

What is Secondary Traumatic Stress?

This video describes the concept of secondary traumatic stress. It's important to understand that secondary traumatic stress is way that somebody can develop symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or meet the full criteria of posttraumatic stress disorder. There are a lot of other terms that mean something similar or even the same as secondary traumatic stress. For example, compassion fatigue is generally thought of as an interchangeable term. We also see vicarious trauma, which is similar but it's not really exactly the same thing. There's more of a cognitive component to vicarious trauma. Sometimes we hear the term burnout, but burnout applies to a phenomenon that affects individuals from every field, not just individuals who hear details of traumatic experiences. Somebody can burnout in part due to secondary trauma, but it's a separate construct. Secondary traumatic stress by itself is not a mental health disorder. The mental health disorder associated with it would be posttraumatic stress disorder. Secondary traumatic stress can affect mental health professionals, and that's the group I'm really talking about here in this video, however, it can also affect individuals from other fields like first responders and medical professionals. To understand secondary traumatic stress its first important to understand the first part of the definition of posttraumatic stress disorder as we see in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, (DSM). This is the section that contains a qualifying trauma. We know from the DSM in order for an experience to qualify as a traumatic event it must be related to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence. It also must meet one of four symptom criteria in that same section: directly experiencing a traumatic, witnessing a traumatic event happening to somebody else, learning about traumatic event that occurred to a close family member or close friend as long as that traumatic event was violent or accidental, and experiencing repeated or extreme exposure to aversive details of a traumatic event. If a mental health professional provides services via video conferencing and they're not face-to-face with the client, this still qualifies under criterion for because it's work-related. The consequences of secondary traumatic stress include impairment, distressing memories, dreams, flashbacks, hypervigilance, difficulty concentrating, negative beliefs, negative emotional states, difficulty sleeping, and avoiding reminders of a traumatic experience. This last symptom in particular is quite easy to connect because you could picture a mental health professional who just doesn't want to hear any more details about a trauma, so therefore they're not really available to listen to the client as would be most helpful. These symptoms don't just have a cost in terms of suffering for the mental health professional, they can also impair counseling or therapeutic performance. There are many forms of self-care that can address some of these symptoms we see with secondary traumatic stress and posttraumatic stress disorder including adjusting the work schedule, or adjusting what types of presentations somebody works with, and seeking mental health therapy.
What is the Difference Between Borderline Personality Disorder and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)?
09:59

What is the Difference Between Borderline Personality Disorder and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)?

This video describes the difference between borderline personality disorder and the concept of complex posttraumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD). Borderline personality disorder is a mental health disorder in the DSM and complex posttraumatic stress disorder is not, but C-PTSD has been proposed to be a disorder in the ICD, which is another manual that's similar to the DSM. With complex PTSD, we see all of the same symptom criteria as we see with PTSD, except the trauma is conceptualized as complex, which is a trauma that occurred repeatedly and usually in someone's childhood as opposed to one single event. We also see a few other characteristics that are associated more so with C-PTSD than PTSD, including difficulty with self-perception, shame, guilt, a negative concept of self, a distorted image of the perpetrator, a preoccupation with revenge, interpersonal relationship difficulties, distrust, isolation, and a loss of meaning. Areas of overlap between C PTSD and borderline personality disorder include mood dysregulation, feelings of emptiness, loneliness, increased sense of guilt, increased difficulties with anger, and decreased self-worth. There's a lot of controversy over the relationship between C-PTSD and borderline personality disorder. One popular point of controversy includes the idea that C-PTSD should replace borderline personality disorder, so with this theory borderline personality disorder never should have been a mental health disorder and this whole time along it was really C-PTSD. In essence, the group that believes this is saying that C-PTSD better explains the symptoms than does borderline personality disorder. I can appreciate many of the elements of this argument, but there are some difficulties with it. The primary difficulty of this argument is that trauma is considered etiological for both borderline personality and C-PTSD. It's fairly easy to see how it could be etiological for C-PTSD, however, with borderline personality the story is quite a bit different. Many individuals who have borderline personality disorder do have a trauma in their history and a lot of times it is complex trauma, however, about 10 – 20% of individuals of with borderline personality disorder have no trauma history at all. Also, we know that with borderline personality or there's a substantial genetic component. Another theory as to the relationship between C-PTSD and borderline personality disorder is that C-PTSD is a subgroup of borderline personality disorder, and this subgroup is a better way to understand individuals with that particular grouping of symptoms. The last theory we see is that C-PTSD is distinct from borderline personality, and that we need both mental health disorders available. The main argument here is that the treatment is substantially different. The needs for individuals that have C-PTSD are greatly different or substantially different than the needs we see of individuals who have borderline personality disorder.
What is the Difference Between PTSD and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)?
06:04

What is the Difference Between PTSD and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)?

This video describes the differences between PTSD and C-PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder versus complex posttraumatic stress disorder). PTSD is an official mental health disorder in a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) so a diagnosis of PTSD can be given if someone meets the full criteria for that disorder. C-PTSD is more of a concept. It's not an official mental health disorder and there's a lot of overlap between PTSD and C-PTSD. With PTSD, there are a number of symptom criteria. First, we need a qualifying trauma for posttraumatic stress disorder, and that could be directly experiencing a trauma, witnessing a trauma, and there's some other circumstances that could occur. We see symptoms of intrusion, like distressing memories distressing dreams, flashbacks. There are symptoms of avoidance, like avoiding reminders of the trauma, trying to avoid thoughts and feelings associated with the trauma. There are negative mood symptoms, like a negative emotional state. There are symptoms of arousal, so this would be anger, hypervigilance, or a sleep disturbance, for example. Complex PTSD is somewhat similar, but the difference starts with the trauma. PTSD has a number of potential qualifying traumas. Complex PTSD the trauma is usually considered repetitive or continuous. The trauma associated with C-PTSD is often thought of as child physical abuse, child sexual abuse, or some other type of trauma that occurs repeatedly and usually during childhood. In general, the severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms would be considered greater with C- PTSD. Common C-PTSD symptoms include distorted perceptions about the perpetrator, difficulties with relationships, distrust, isolation, loss of meaning, and hopelessness.
What is Depersonalization Derealization Disorder?
05:50

What is Depersonalization Derealization Disorder?

This video describes depersonalization-derealization disorder. With depersonalization-derealization disorder, we see criteria that has a dissociative property as well as some other criteria. The classification for depersonalization-derealization disorder is in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). We see with the symptom criteria that somebody would have a depersonalization experience or a derealization experience or both. With depersonalization, this would be experiencing detachment, unreality, or feeling like you're an outside observer to your own body, thoughts, actions, and feelings. This would be a distorted sense of self, perceptual distortions, or emotional or physical numbing. Derealization is similar but it's an experience of detachment or unreality related to surroundings. This would be experiencing other people or objects in a dreamlike, foggy, or visually-distorted or unreal way. There are other criteria for this disorder including that reality testing is intact during the experiences. The first thing we might think of we hear about depersonalization and derealization is psychosis, but it's not the same thing as psychosis. An individual with depersonalization and derealization can separate reality from fantasy throughout the entire experience. With psychosis, of course, that would not be the case. Other criteria include there is clinically significant distress and this would be in areas of social occupational or other functioning, and the experiences are not attributable to substances a medical condition or better explained by another mental health disorder like schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, panic disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for example. The dissociative experiences that we see in depersonalization-derealization disorder can last hours, days, weeks, months, and sometimes even years, so it's highly variable in terms of how long the symptoms can be present. Some common descriptions we hear with this disorder on the depersonalization side would be an out-of-body experience, feeling robotic, lacking control over movement or thought or feeling, and also knowing that feelings should be present but being unable to feel. With derealization some of the common descriptions are looking at the environment and it feels artificial, lifeless, or colorless. Also, visual distortions and auditory distortions are common with derealization, in particular, visual distortions. These experiences of depersonalization and derealization are actually quite common. Most people will experience this type of dissociative event at some point in their life but only about 2% of individuals will meet the full criteria for this disorder. Depersonalization-derealization disorder affects males and females at the same rate and typically has an early onset. We think of this disorder as having an early onset compared to a number of other disorders. The mean age onset is 16 and an onset of depersonalization-derealization disorder after the age of 20 would only occur about 20% of the time, and after age 25 only about 5% at a time. There are a number of mental health disorders that co-occur with depersonalization-derealization disorder. We see major depressive disorder and all of the anxiety disorders are comorbid with depersonalization-derealization disorder. Avoidant personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder are fairly common comorbid mental health disorders with depersonalization-derealization disorder. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is actually not highly comorbid with this disorder.
What is the Difference Between Acute, Chronic, and Complex Trauma?
04:12

What is the Difference Between Acute, Chronic, and Complex Trauma?

This video describes the difference between acute, chronic, and complex trauma. When I use the word trauma, I'm referring to trauma as it's looked at in the definition of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a mental health disorder that requires a qualifying traumatic event. These different types of trauma are sometimes used in determining what kind of care would be appropriate or necessary. Acute trauma is also referred to as simple trauma, and this usually means when there's one traumatic event in someone's history. It would be potentially the focus of treatment or may have led to posttraumatic stress disorder. whether there was a diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder or not, this would just involve one event. This could be a motor vehicle accident, a natural disaster, a workplace injury or some event that just occurs one time. Chronic trauma has multiple events. Complex trauma is often thought of as being the same thing as chronic trauma, however, with complex trauma sometimes there's an added set of criteria and that would include that the traumatic events were perpetrated by a caregiver or another trusted individual, there was a sense of betrayal, and the traumatic events happened during childhood. Regardless of the exact definition of complex trauma. the reason that this classification exists is because we believe that there is a likelihood of seeing particular symptoms or seeing more severe symptoms with complex trauma than with simple trauma. With complex trauma, it wouldn't be unusual to see relational difficulties, a sense of guilt and/or shame, low self-esteem, a distorted self-image, dissociation, difficulties regulating emotions, and a sense of hopelessness or a loss of meaning now.
What are Flashbacks? (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD] - Intrusion Symptom)
08:41

What are Flashbacks? (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD] - Intrusion Symptom)

This video explains the concept of a flashback, which is a symptom associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). When we look at the definition of PTSD, we can divide the symptoms into five categories: qualifying trauma, intrusive symptoms, avoidance symptoms, negative mood, and arousal and reactivity. Flashbacks would be part of intrusive symptoms, which is otherwise known as intrusion. Flashbacks are re-experiencing episodes that are involuntary, recurrent, and can have physiological, emotional, and sensory components to them. Not all re-experiencing is a flashback. Sometimes re-experiencing only involves memories or dreams. When there is re-experiencing and that is accompanied by a dissociative state, sometimes this qualifies an episode as a flashback. During a flashback an individual may behave as if the traumatic event is happening currently. This can have a number of components: physiological (e.g. sweating, increased heartrate), emotional (e.g. feelings of fear, depression, anxiety), and sensory (e.g. visual, auditory, tactile, and olfactory). Somebody can see, hear, touch, and smell the elements in a flashback potentially. Sometimes we see some of those senses are functioning during a flashback and other ones would not be. For example, some flashbacks are only visual. Sometimes flashbacks do not have a memory component or a sensory component, but only an emotional component. These are referred to as an emotional flashback. Emotional flashbacks as more associated with trauma that occurs in early childhood as opposed to later in life. There is some controversy around flashbacks and how they might relate to dissociation. A lot of times we think of a flashback as a dissociative state, but there is research that shows that flashbacks and dissociation may be completely separate constructs. There is various research using brain scans that show that different areas of the brain are active during a flashback than we see with dissociation. We don’t know what causes flashbacks, however, there are a number of theories about what may be going on in the brain that could lead to flashbacks. One of the more popular theories is that traumatic experiences are encoded in the brain differently than other experiences, so they are more prone to result in a flashback than a non-traumatic memory.
What are Repressed Memories and are they real?
07:45

What are Repressed Memories and are they real?

This video describes the concept of repressed memories and the defense mechanism of repression. Repression is one of the defense mechanisms theorized by Sigmund Freud when he created psychoanalytic theory, which is a talk therapy modality. In psychoanalytic theory, the ego regulates the unconscious drives of the id and the morals and societal values of the superego. When the ego fails to regulate the id and the superego sometimes defense mechanisms can be observed. One of those defense mechanisms is repression and arguably it's the most important defense mechanism because every defense mechanism has repression reflected in it in some way. To understand repression we have to understand the idea of the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious mind. The conscious mind contains information that we are aware of right now. The preconscious mind stores more information that we have access to but we are not thinking of at the moment. That information can be retrieved. The unconscious mind contains the most information and it's information that we are not aware of we can't retrieve. With repression, frightening and painful memories, thoughts, or unconscious drives that are unacceptable get pushed from conscious awareness or from the preconscious mind to the unconscious mind. By definition someone cannot recall a repressed memory. They are not aware of the information that is stored away securely in the unconscious mind. On this issue of the existence of repressed memories, most therapists believe that this phenomenon is true (about 70%). Most researchers don't believe it's true with only around 15 - 30% believing that repressed memories are real. There are a number of alternative explanations to repressed memories, however, research in this area is difficult to conduct. There is no way currently of proving or disproving the concept of repressed memories.
