TRAUMA: The Real Gateway Drug

Have you ever wondered why Trauma causes us to engage in risky behaviors?

In this episode, ChrisE and Dream discuss how Trauma leads us to cope in unhealthy ways as an escape from the unbearable pain from our emotions. They discuss how Trauma disrupts a person’s executive functioning. For example, inhibitory control, which is the ability people have to exert control over their behaviors. They also include examples of negative and positive coping mechanisms for your reference.

Therapies to Reverse Unhealthy Coping:

• Individual/Group/Family therapy

• Art therapy

• EMDR therapy

• Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
