Navigating the Extremes: 5 Dialectical Dilemmas in Trauma Survivors

Explore the paradoxical world of trauma survivors in our latest episode of 'Among Therapists: Practical Tips.' Discover how trauma's impact on the nervous system leads to a series of dialectical dilemmas, where survivors oscillate between extremes in awareness, thinking, emoting, reacting, and relating. Join us as we examine these five key areas and how they manifest as either too much or too little, from hypervigilance and dissociation to emotional overwhelm and numbness.
