Term
Trouble remembering key features of the traumatic event
Negative thoughts about oneself or the world
Distorted feelings like guilt or blame
Loss of interest in enjoyable activities

Definition
PTSD in children and teens:
Term
Effective psychotherapies tend to emphasize a few key components, including education about symptoms, teaching skills to help identify the triggers of symptoms, and skills to manage the symptoms. One helpful form of therapy is called cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT. CBT can include:
Exposure therapy. This helps people face and control their fear. It gradually exposes them to the trauma they experienced in a safe way. It uses imagining, writing, or visiting the place where the event happened. The therapist uses these tools to help people with PTSD cope with their feelings.
Cognitive restructuring. This helps people make sense of the bad memories. Sometimes people remember the event differently than how it happened. They may feel guilt or shame about something that is not their fault. The therapist helps people with PTSD look at what happened in a realistic way.

There are other types of treatment that can help as well. People with PTSD should talk about all treatment options with a therapist. Treatment should equip individuals with the skills to manage their symptoms and help them participate in activities that they enjoyed before developing PTSD.

Trust vs. Mistrust:
Term
ENVIRONMENTAL Consumers may have safe or secure accommodation, a home, a big brother, a great dog, cultural support, a good relationship with a GP or be a member of a church or self-help group.
INTERESTS/ASPIRATIONS Consumers may enjoy playing computer games, gardening, watching old movies on TV or going to coffee shops and "hanging out". They may want to be a musician, go fishing, have a partner, spend more time with family members or own a car.
TALENTS People can surprise themselves and us by the skills and talents they have (or once had but forgot). E.g. they may know how to play a musical instrument, juggle, recite poetry, solve crossword puzzles, run, lift weights, bake bread, give massages, collect coins, understand a foreign language or help others. Talking to people about any one of these can assure them of their resourcefulness and help us to see them as individuals.
PERSONAL QUALITIES/CHARACTERISTICS Many of our consumers find it difficult to identify their personal qualities and we may have to provide them with positive feedback to assist this process. E.g. they may have a sense of humour or strength under pressure, be reliable, caring, hopeful, honest, hard-working, kind, patient, sensitive, easy to talk to, generous, willing to stand up for the underdog or friendly - these qualities (and others) are natural and renewable resources.
People’s awareness of the world/knowledge: our consumers have learnt much about the world through personal experience, books, exposure to tradition/culture and family. This knowledge is a valuable resource and must be acknowledged.
Personal awareness: people develop personal insights and skills through struggle, pain and illness as well as success and rewards. We assist people to reframe challenges/failures as opportunities for growth and we work together to set alternate goals and access new resources.
Cultural, spiritual and ethnic lore: These are strengths which are frequently overlooked by clinicians. E.g. consumers may have skills as a natural healer, have succeeded in
raising/fostering children in economically disadvantaged environments, may have participated in an extended family or have ritual and spiritual ties with the natural world. Every culture has means of healing and being a ‘part of’; these should be recognised and tapped.
