However, an important point to remember is, that whether classed as major or minor, every traumatic event is a huge shock to the affected individuals. Another important point to remember is that most trauma victims recover perfectly well without needing any specialist therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, whether the traumatic event is affecting large groups, small groups, or individuals, it is all too often the case these days that so-called trauma experts, whether counsellors or psychotherapists, are immediately called in by panicking officials, friends, or families. However, the UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence warns us that trauma therapy \u201c<em>should only be offered if it is actually necessary<\/em>\u201d. They say this because doing nothing is actually very often the most helpful in the long run. In fact, many studies tell us that overzealous, untimely, and inappropriate \u2018therapising\u2019 can actually make matters far worse. So, a great big \u2018don\u2019t\u2019 is this. Don\u2019t include trauma therapy as part of the routine, front-line, responses to traumatic events. You might be doing far more harm than good.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, psychotherapists may not necessarily be the best people to help trauma victims. There is evidence to show that many, if not most, victims much prefer the help of friends and colleagues to the services of the allegedly \u2018expert\u2019 therapist. Research shows that that people usually respond best to the flexible and informal help offered to them by their colleagues and friends. So, how can traumatised people be best put on the road to recovery? Here are a couple of \u2018do\u2019s\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, make sure that\u00a0 everybody is familiar with the technique known as \u2018Critical Incident Defusing\u2019. This is basically an emotional recovery process, which is usually most effective if those involved in a traumatic incident carry it out for themselves. This is because Defusing is essentially a peer-supported, post-incident, <u>normalising<\/u> process. Defusing simply requires the people involved to deliberately focus their post-incident conversations and social interactions in ways that ensure that everybody feels able to talk about their thoughts and feelings. In other words, Defusing is a process that acts as a communal \u00a0emotional, pressure-relief valve, one that reduces immediate psychological tensions and prevents accumulative stresses from building up.<\/p>\n<p>Next, make sure \u00a0that everybody is also familiar with the post-incident process known as \u2018Psychological First Aid\u2019. It is something that anyone can do. This is how:<\/p>\n<p>Make contact with the victims and engage with them on a personal level<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Help them to find somewhere safe and comfortable<\/li>\n<li>Help them to get more emotionally at ease \u2013 tea and sympathy<\/li>\n<li>Find out just what the victims really need \u2013 (<em><u>everything and anything<\/u><\/em><u>)<\/u><\/li>\n<li>Organise practical assistance<\/li>\n<li>Help the victims to connect with their own social support systems<\/li>\n<li>Provide the victims with information about what is happening to them. Tell them about how trauma can affect them and give them some tips on coping.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure that the survivors know how to link up with the NHS welfare and health services should they eventually need them<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In sum, it should be noted that most, possibly all, of the components of both Defusing and Psychological First Aid are not essentially psychotherapeutic in nature but focus on meeting basic post-incident needs, (e.g., physical safety, interpersonal connectedness, support, normalisation, promoting self-functioning, and so on). Either of these victim-support techniques should be flexibly delivered in ways that meet the specific needs of the victims. The bottom line is that in the immediate aftermath of any trauma, professionals should take their lead from the survivors and provide the help they actually want at the time, rather than assume that as experts that the \u2018experts\u2019 know best.<\/p>\n<p>However, as helpful as Defusing or \u00a0Psychological First Aid can be, it is also vital that the needs of genuinely psychologically pathologised survivors are identified as early as possible. Relying on laypersons to normalize the abnormal is fine, providing that the needs of the more seriously disturbed are not overlooked. This is why it is essential that expert trauma therapists form part of immediate response teams. I do not suggest that they have to be there to overtly therapise. Indeed I am arguing that in most cases they should not! What they can do is to be willing to offer to help out in any capacity at all, (after all, somebody has to make the tea!). However as they go about their tasks, they also can be watching what is going on and sometimes, quietly, unobtrusively, and above all respectfully, they might identify someone who appears to be more severely distressed and in need of an early mental health intervention. In such cases these watchers can become overt therapists once again, even if only temporarily. They can then use their professional skills to start to address the needs of the more deeply troubled at a different level, perhaps even at a psychotherapeutic one.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, and this is addressed to all the \u2018Trauma experts\u2019 out there. It\u2019s the biggest \u2018don\u2019t\u2019 of them all! Don\u2019t forget \u2026\u201d<em>fools rush in etc.<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TRAUMA \u2013 THE DO\u2019s AND DON\u2019T\u2019s: The first \u2018do\u2019 of all is simple.
