Trauma Model
The Trauma Model helps individuals and groups identify conflicts, unlearn specific distortions, develop self awareness, and regulate feelings related to trauma.
Attachment Ambivalence
Humans have a biological need to be connected in relationships. For
young children, life itself depends on these connections. When an
individual is traumatized by physical, emotional, or sexual abuse,
there is also a biological urge to recoil from the source of the
injury. This contradiction in biological urges, to connect or to
recoil, creates ambivalent feelings about attachment.
The
more that the individual’s real or experienced survival depends on an
abuser, the more dramatic the internal conflict.
