UNDERSTANDING TRAUMA AND TRAUMA-RELATED DISORDERS
Available with English captions.
When it comes to recognizing and addressing trauma and trauma-related disorders,
it’s important to separate fact from fiction. Post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD), for example, is often associated exclusively with the horrors of war,
but it’s a myth that only veterans of combat develop the condition. In reality,
PTSD can impact anyone who has witnessed or experienced traumatic,
life-threatening, or life-changing events.
Misconceptions also surround dissociative identity disorder (DID), once known as
multiple personality disorder. While misleading media portrayals might suggest
that most people with DID jump between personas and personalities, in reality,
only a very small portion of those with the disorder exhibit this behavior.
So how can we learn to recognize the symptoms of psychological trauma? What are
the best options for effective treatment? And how can we best understand if we
have experienced a traumatic event?
AUDIENCE QUESTIONS
Matthew A. Robinson, PhD, provides an overview of PTSD, DID, and other
trauma-related disorders, debunks common myths about these conditions, and
covers the evidence-based treatment methods to ensure that people are able to
manage their symptoms and live rewarding lives.
* What are the differences between trauma, traumatic events, and trauma-related
disorders?
* When does the experience of trauma become a diagnosable disorder?
* Can you explain why the use of precise language surrounding trauma-related
disorders is so important?
* What is the definition of a potentially traumatic event (PTE)?
* How common are PTEs and will most people experience one at some point in
their lives?
* Do most people recognize if they are experiencing a PTE or have experienced
one in the past?
* Can you describe the spectrum of trauma-related disorders?
* Does dissociative identity disorder (DID) fall in the spectrum of
trauma-related disorders?
* What are some of the common misconceptions about post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD)?
* What is the difference between post-traumatic stress and post-traumatic
stress disorder?
* What are some symptoms of PTSD?
* Is there sometimes a delay in the onset of PTSD symptoms?
* Can a person suffer trauma from continued childhood emotional abuse, or must
the abuse be physical to be considered trauma?
* Are workers in some occupations more at risk than others when it comes to
PTSD?
* Is it common for someone with PTSD to struggle with depression, as well?
* How is PTSD treated and is medication commonly used in treatment?
* What are some of the considerations when deciding whether someone’s PTSD
treatment should be inpatient or outpatient?
* What is complex PTSD (C-PTSD) and how is it different from PTSD?
* Are there visible differences in the symptoms of PTSD and C-PTSD?
* What are the differences between borderline personality disorder (BPD) and
C-PTSD?
* What is dissociative identity disorder (DID)?
* Is DID the same as multiple personality disorder and, if so, why the change
in the terminology?
* Why do some people with C-PTSD have difficulty with their identity?
* What are the signs and symptoms of DID?
* How is DID treated?
* How can a family member support a loved one with PTSD or DID?
* How can someone help a loved one with developmental disabilities who
experienced childhood trauma?
* When is it appropriate for a clinician to refer a patient to a specialist and
what trauma-related disorder training is available?
* Is there any research linking childhood trauma with other mental health
conditions, such as bipolar disorder and depression?
* What role does exercise play in C-PTSD recovery?
* Can you describe a typical PTSD treatment protocol and process?
* What can someone expect during post-treatment recovery?
* Is it common for children of alcoholics to develop C-PSTD?
* What resources do you recommend for learning more about prolonged grief
disorder?
* Is personality impacted by PTSD and, if so, how?
* What is the state of PTSD and DID research?
* Is there a trendline when it comes to the number of people seeking treatment
for trauma-related disorders?
