4 Stages of Trauma with Alex Howard


4 Stages of Trauma with Alex Howard

1. Event

2. Response (There are 3 core emotional styles)

3. Defences (Learn to not feel the feelings)

4. Belief symptoms we created/Meaning of the event. (The meaning you placed on the event - I am not worthy. If you ask for help people will reject you. If you show your emotions people are going to get hurt) We are retraumatizing ourselves every day.

To heal our trauma we have to go through each of these in reverse. We can't change the event but we can change the beliefs we created after the event.
