 Personalization
 Catastrophizing
 Fallacies of control and fate
 Minimizing your strength/accomplishments (I am proud of myself for…)
 What is the best use of your energy to move toward those things important in your rich and meaningful life.
Before You Begin
 Consider doing these activities with a therapist or spiritual leader
 Develop a safety plan in case you start feeling overwhelmed
 Set a timer
 Only process one trauma in a session.
Autobiography
 Begin with your first memory
 Who is important in your life?
 Are they supportive and nurturing or toxic?
 How is your health?
 Are you happy? If not, why not?
 What is important in your life?
 Significant events, what caused them, your reaction
 Repeat this for each grade or year after until the present day.
Identifying Traumas
 Go through your autobiography and identify the traumatic experiences
 Start with the first one and work forward
Processing the Trauma
 What are the facts of the event?
 What are your beliefs about the event? (I should have protected him. That person did not love me. It came from out of the blue.)
 Are there any other factors, perspectives of things that you might not have considered (once you form a schema about a situation it often does not change unless you evaluate and adjust it)
 How was this experience influenced by prior experiences?
 How did the experience shape your beliefs about your ability to: Keep yourself safe? To improve the next moment and live a rich and meaningful life? To be loved? To love and trust others?
Processing the Trauma
 How did the experience shape your beliefs and expectations about other people’s trustworthiness and your general safety in the world? The future?
 Go back over each of your beliefs and complete the Cognitive Restructuring Worksheet
 What losses do you need to grieve as a result of this trauma? (ex. loss of relationships, lost time…)
 What can you do to feel empowered and safe?
 How are you different, wiser and stronger now than you were then?
 How is this event influencing you in the present? Your health? Your mood? Your attitude? Your relationships?
 This experience is part of who you are. How can you use it to help you become more like the person you want to be?
Summary
 Trauma can be insidious because, unresolved, it can negatively impact your sense of safety and empowerment.
 When trauma is effectively resolved, you will have a better idea of
 What happened
 What your role actually was
 Losses/other traumas that need to be grieved
 How you can integrate that experience in a way that can help you move toward your rich and meaningful life.

As a marketing and copywriting expert, may I suggest: make this topic into a series? Break each point and subpoint down into several examples. The slides and captioning texts are helpful. Breaking it down further will be even more helpful. Thank you for listening. :) I needed this. God bless.

Well outlined, your concise way of describing, and comfortably relating it is very helpful Dr! DBT vs CBT... I have to say as an aside that DBT was very helpful but did not relate, or really address the core, then was referred to EMDR to "process". But the step by step defining and yes why we're stressed are well worth walking through as you did here-- Thank you.

Hi Dawn. Firstly a giant THANKYOU. I am doing my post graf degree in Counselling and use your content for every single subject. I'm currently working on a self deconstructing essay using cbt. I've watched a few of your videos so far. Just wondering if you have a piece where you cover Cognitive therapy on its own? Specifically Beck. I am getting confused as cbt is such an umbrella term covering various theorists. They've requested we focus on Beck only but I'm finding this quite difficult Thanks 😊

[@DocSnipes]

Thanks for watching. Wishing you the best of luck on your continuing studies! :)

This world IS unsafe, lady!!!! And that's not the result of trauma neccesarily, but just a reality. I started my life journey as a child thinking THE BEST of everyone, having the most optimitic view of this world you could imagine, it was very difficult for someone to destroy my smile. But all that changed, as I discovered how people actually where when on the inside I stopped seeing them through my naive eyes and started suffering their malice, through naricsisitic abuse, psychological abuse, bullying, covert psychopaths, state brutality, violence... Of course this world is unsafe, that is just reality unfortunately until Jesus comes back.

So I have had the worst of things happen, all seemed to hit at once. Or one caused the other. I cant seem to shake the pain,hurt and memories/ flashbacks daily. Its been a few months, very little to no safe feeling..I only sleep when I pass out from...staying up for days...and the closest few persons in ones life have ceased. I will put these steps and techniques to the best of my abilities. I am very tough, strong minded and determined to beat this...trauma slowly taking my life away little by little everyday. I probably need real professional help, but do not have insurance nor afford it/ to pay for a therapist. Have you heard of the procedure (STELLA) Do you think it could be a possible solution? I have a hard time even discussing my incident(s) or processing it still. I have perhaps...turned to substance abuse to...help.or numb the new reality ive been living with. But i am healthy physically and have " a most certain schema of a better tomorrow, everyday" And would prayer help? For hope& healing...

Have you lost weight? Don't get too skinny. I prefer the voluptuos type. Easier too find too. Can't spell voluptuos.

Lol. I workout most every day.... Pretty sure I will always be closer to BayWatch Pam Anderson than a runway model. You will not have to be displeased. 😉
