5 The Stress Episode As therapists, one of our major tools is our words. Most adults, when they witness a child who is severely upset over what appears to not want to follow a directive, will label the behavior a “tantrum”, or at best “acting out”. In most cases, this is a fairly accurate term for the behavior that the child is exhibiting. When a stress disordered child engages in similar behaviors, the source and quality of the behaviors will be different at different times.

Perhaps the most notable flaw in all of the current treatment methods of treating children for stress disorders, including acute stress and post traumatic stress, is that they are modeled largely on the experiences and diagnostic criteria of adults. Not much treatment development has been made from existing research about the bio-chemical nature of stress disorders to address alte ate models for specific treatment of children.

PTSD is all about brain chemistry and what happens to the brain during and immediately after the critical, traumatic incident. Essentially, the chemicals that flood the brain during the trauma do so in order to help the person to survive the event, either by running away, or fighting furiously. A third option, to submit to the trauma also has brain chemistry implications. In some individuals, once the brain goes through this chemical ‘rewiring’ to survive the trauma, the wiring stays that way.

The use of traditional behavior modification techniques with stress disordered children needs to be done with caution and extra care. The issue of the primary source of the child’s behaviors needs to take precedence over simply “pressing on” with behavior modification techniques. The key indicator to the clinical team treating the child is that they will find the child’s behaviors getting much worse despite using behavioral methods that should be working. This initially can be mistaken as an “extinction burst”, and the team may be motivated to apply more behavior modification pressure.

I try not to think about having to clean their rooms from an unkept mess. Fond is the memory of each one’s birth as their toes were counted from one to ten. Visitors were ward off from coming too close, like an anxious mother hen. Long were the nights kept rocking and nursing at regular intervals, too.

Each experience that we survive through brings a solid skill. We need to celebrate that PTSD only wounded us, but did not kill! The battle over our minds is the stronghold of the evil enemy. Let us beware of thoughts that negate love, while filled with envy. We must remember that Creator gave us a free-will, and shall not interfere. He will use our bad choices, only not sin to put His glory into gear. Genesis 50:20 puts this meaning into reverse as, “you meant evil against me.” Such is revealed when contemplating on how the Great Father meant it for good, you see.

There are light, gray clouds in the sky (that really effect the soul.) They are not really clouds at all, but dark forces with an evil goal! Such awful covering over the blue sky binds those with PTSD, too. One cannot reach the coat of joyfulness while grayness dampens through. The news media focuses on negative events that they skew. Many such reporters, quite frankly, do not have credence, or a clue. This is so wide spread in throughout the world, yet people do not see.

What we with PTSD need to consider for healing is a seasonal, changing strategy. Without a constant attention to where we are, our progress becomes a tragedy! The things like protective mechanisms may no longer be advantageous. Those emotions of anger, and fear prevented us from becoming courageous. Part of our emotional, self-overhaul comes from our internal perspective, too. Perhaps, we may feel we have gotten on in age for a dream to come true. This proliferates becoming bitter, and jealous of other people’s accomplishments.r

The song with words, “Should old acquaintance be forgot” applies here. Those of us with PTSD need to do so in order for healing to truly adhere.

For instance, “What can we get rid of today to proliferate a better tomorrow?” A good habit to use is what we learned in language class at grade school. Reflecting on asking ourselves the, “Who, what, when, where, why” thought tool. All of the above five can mirror the “old acquaintance to be forgotten,” you see.r

What a strange concept, that seems to pull away from reality. It will make more sense, if we connect PTSD to emotions of carnality. Okay, let us give these emotions a face describing the following list. The carnal man or woman connects to fear, anger, worry, stress, and lust. In reference to such connections we with PTSD disconnect with Spirit. We may be stretching our mind forward (with great therapeutic effort.) There are several kinds of services to try to get our minds filled with some peace. The truth is that, if we do not connect to the Spirit of peace, we have no release.r

Think earnestly, even if our life’s PTSD experience has taught us to be mean. To continue to mistreat others this way, we only allow misery to glean. By persisting to act out old behavior, we deprive ourselves, too. Instead of moving forward, we endorse what has made us blue! We react to being threatened with misdirected anger to new situations. As we apply old, unspoken rules life endures with complications. With this kind of malicious thinking we become frozen in our past. The little successes we struggled to make (most certainly) do not last.

He may suggest taking the easy way out in suicide, which is true. Doctors, and therapists may make referrals for insurance to pay. Their advice may be full of fluff, without substance, per say. Speaking from my own traumatic experience, healing takes time. It took years for me to be ready to face my issues in Divine rhyme! The difference is that there were not professional people to help.r
