When traumatised people get triggered, our body and mind is no longer reacting to what is happening in front of us. We are responding to things that remind us of the past, as if they are happening now.
The cues that trigger us happen so quickly we are not aware of them in real time and we do not have the ability to interpret them for what they are, triggers.
Our body reacts and in turn we behave in a way that we find embarrassing. This leads to feelings of shame and disappointment in letting ourselves down and also letting down those we love and who love us.
We decide that the solution is to avoid people and reduce the risk of further embarrassment and shame.
Healing through therapy would involve learning to calm our bodies and staying in the present moment when we are around others. So when triggers do present, we can respond to what is actually in front of us.

There seems to be no end in sight to when this unknown will end. None of us know what’s up from one day to another. Today every kid in PA will receive plastic face shields but tomorrow will schools announce going to online? Will there be a second wave of lay offs? We are in an abyss of the unknown and we as therapists are all seeing the pandemic depression and anxiety rise daily.

Representation matters!
"Madison Wilson, 7, wants to make sure that everyone sees themselves in their classrooms, and that’s why she’s been raising money to donate diverse materials to three different schools in her home state.
“Sometimes, there are only books with peach kids, and there should be books with brown kids like me, too,” her GoFundMe page, called “Help Fill Madi’s Treasure Box,” reads. Her goal is to donate 1,000 crayon boxes and 500 books.
“She said, ‘Mommy, why don’t they show brown people in movies and books? Do they not like brown people?’ She said they mostly show ‘peach people,'” her mom, Vashti Wilson, told Good Morning America.

i receive many a panicked call at my office each day with parents who just found out their child drank or smoked pot for the first time. it is shocking and upsetting for parents but so much damage is done with their reaction. if we can expect that our kids are out in the world and things are going to occur on their phones or with these temptations that when it happens we think before we react. shame anger and explosions are never good for kids. i think the “my child would never do that” attitude sets parents up for disaster. all kids are going to explore in adolescence as they are all coming into themselves and dancing as fast as they can with all that’s going on around them. of course there are those kids who will not be tempted and it’d nice if those kids are our kids but it’s very rare and those kids often wait to experiment in college when no parents are around to guide them.

i love the Alcohol Anonymous slogan “what other people say about you is none of your business”. i love this bc it means that most of the time when someone is gossiping about you it’s more about the person saying it than you. it’s tricky though bc sometimes it is about us. for one it could be something we ourselves are putting out there to trigger feelings in others mixed in with their own issues. i tend to think that whatever conflicts i find myself in in my life if i look at my part - my 50 percent - i can learn a whole lot. that doesn’t mean when i look at myself in the mirror with honesty and grow from this interaction that this is a person that i want to keep in my life. then there are those people in your life who have opinions about you that are your business. we need to listen to them. these are the people in our lives that we trust and know that they have our best interests in mind. i have a handful of these amazing people, my husband at the top, some dear friends, and family. they are people who do their own work and i trust filter things through before coming to me. what amazing teachers these folks are!

Defiant, angry behavior in teens is almost always the result of a deeper issue. Opposition tends to mask pain and fear...Root causes of defiant behavior include the following:
Trauma - Long-term traumatic stress can impact every area of a teenager’s life
Anxiety - An adolescent with an anxiety disorder may become defiant and oppositional in an attempt to escape an anxiety-producing situation
Insecure Attachment - When parents are unavailable emotionally or physically, their children may not be able to create a healthy attachment bond. On the other hand, parents who are too involved in their children’s lives can also disrupt attachment
Counterwill - Defiant behavior in teens can also be an expression of what’s known as counterwill. Counterwill refers to the instinctive reaction of a child or teen to resist being controlled.

these kids are resilient - trying to feel the pain and keep pushing through distance learning and a summer ahead fully masked. they seem to bounce back from the hurts .... but do they? bullying, heart breaks, friendships broken, gosh a lot for young adults to process. for some this pain turns into drinking, drugs, promiscuity or turning it inward. they need us adults...mothers, fathers, aunts , uncles. friends parents, teachers, coaches they need us to be there for them and just listen if they choose to vent.

Adolescence is a time where even the most introverted teens find their wings and begin to fly...quarantine has put a wrench into the natural order of things. Teens are home 24/7 and though it has proven very special family time for our family and i’m sure many others - i’m looking forward to the adolescents in my life to have a rip roaring summer with friends and fun. Not sure how rip roaring it can be with masks and social distancing and hand sanitizer...i’m sure they make the best of it and will feel footloose and fancy free with some independence back.

Parents are feeling like military seargents they are constantly harping in what kids aren’t doing. Which is understandable. Their sleep nutrition and school work is a mess. Good to ask them what they are feeling about all of this. We as adults are also feeling like everything is all over the place. 10 weeks...long time for kids to be without friends and sports. And they are all fearing that Fall will bring more online schooling.

Not easy for teens to be in quarantine going on ten weeks - they just wanna break out at this point. Their days and nights are mixed up - they go to bed at 5am and sleep til noon - parents are panicked. emails coming from school that work isn’t complete and they are spending lots of time in their rooms. I think they are doing the best they can. Like we all are right now.

Parents of kids with oppositional behavior aren’t sure what to do with their kids behavior. Oftentimes they scream, yell and shame their kids. They feel out of control so they try to control. They feel like their kids are trying to hurt “them” instead of themselves.

All of this makes these kids feel like “bad” kids. Some of their behavior is in fact considered “bad” but it is bad behavior and not a bad child.

Over time these teens begin to demonstrate “you wanna see a bad kid, i will show you a bad kid ” and their behaviors get worse and worse. This is not good for the child or the parents. A therapist can guide parents in examining their feelings so they don’t act on them.

We have to understand what the actions of the child are saying about what they are feeling. Some consequences may be needed but must be delivered without shame, anger or control.
