Complex trauma and PTSD
What Is Complex Trauma?
Complex trauma is still a relatively new field of psychology. Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,
results from enduring complex trauma.
Complex trauma is ongoing or repeated interpersonal trauma, where the victim is
traumatized in captivity or environment, where there is no perceived way to escape. It also results in repeated betrayal in long-term or married relationships.
Ongoing child abuse is captivity abuse because the child cannot escape. Domestic
violence is another example. Enforced prostitution/sex trafficking is another.
Complex PTSD is now recognized by WHO in the Classification of Diseases (ICD-11)
(published in 2018) now defines two distinct conditions Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD) and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD).
Complex PTSD does acknowledge and validate the added symptoms endured due to
Complex Trauma.
Brainspotting
"Where you look affects how you feel." It is the brain activity, especially in the subcortical brain that organizes itself around that eye position. Brainspotting locates points in the client's visual field that help to access unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain.
Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing.
Couples Work
Before a couple begins couple counselling, the couple is invited to an assessment to discuss their requirements from therapy. After the couple is fully informed about counselling, and the focus of the couple counselling has been agreed, therapy can proceed. This is an ethical approach to couple counselling.
