How can you gauge if a rage-based action of a PTSD survivor’s family member is useful? 26. How do the avoidance symptoms of a parent with PTSD create a "shameful family secret"? 27. What are risk factors for trafficking Victims?

Answers: A.  The intrusion can become an opportunity to think about the trauma in order to understand it and its mean­ing, to put it in perspective, and to resolve it by putting it into place. B.  Group acceptance increases each member’s self-esteem, and each member in turn becomes more accepting toward others. C.  A combat veteran may respond with anger and aggression, or he may respond with a shutdown of emotion or with attempts to remove himself physically or distance himself emotionally from the trigger. D.  If rage-based action takes precedence over every­thing else, it is probably not helpful. If the action is balanced by attending to other aspects of the aftermath of the trauma (including taking care of him or herself), it is probably helpful. E.  Family members accept the blame for a parent’s or partner’s PTSD symptoms, and deny that anything is wrong with the parent or the family. The trauma often becomes a shameful family secret because of this tendency to avoid and deny the real problem. F. The two contradictory responses of intrusion and constriction in response to an experience of overwhelming danger. G. 1. Your client may experience a spiritual revelation that brings them great peace, 2. they might experience mental, emotional, or spiritual con­fusion. H.  Instead of experiencing denial, children often consciously and deliber­ately try to rid their minds of all thoughts of the traumatic incident and of the feelings that arise when they have these thoughts. I.  Although prevalent and devastating among trauma survivors, survival guilt was not seen as being essential to the numbing­ reexperiencing cycle of PTSD. J.  Loss of control, abandonment, rejection, attack, and one’s own tendency to hurt others. K.  Somatization disorder, borderline personality disorder, and multiple personality disorder. L. The main purpose of a Trigger chart is to help your client work towards change and control by understanding and anticipating when they might be triggered. M. age, poverty, gender inequality, unemployment, sexual abuse, health/mental health problems, police/ political corruption, and high crime
