1. In your initial post, discuss the clinical parameters for identifying, assessing, and
using psychotherapeutic strategies with people who have experienced trauma.
Include research and education implications related to the psychiatric-mental health
approach to the treatment of people who have been traumatized.
Clinically, it is believed that in addition to symptoms caused by organ defects, poisoning or
injuries, mental health disorders are based on unprocessed memories of early life experiences and high
alertness caused by negative life events. Make original emotions, somatosensory sensations, and beliefs
stored in memory; flashbacks, nightmares, and invasive thoughts in PTSD patients are triggered by these
memories. That is why rapid eye movement therapy, cognitive behavior therapy and exposure therapy
are some of the psychotherapeutic strategies commonly used in management of trauma (Shapiro 2014).
Case conceptualization is based on a functional analysis of the patient's symptoms, etiology, and current
problems, and then infers the functional structure of the underlying adaptive and non-adaptive memory
network
Rapid eye movement therapy (REMT) is not only to help patients reduce anxiety, but also to
lead positive emotions, evoke consciousness, change beliefs and behaviors. At present, people tend to
explain the working principle of REMT from the perspectives of physiology and psychology.
Physiologically, the effect of REMT in treating trauma-related symptoms is to integrate communication
between the left and right hemispheres of the brain through functional neurological changes. This
strategy promotes the reorganization of traumatic memory. Psychology is mainly explained from four
aspects: hypnosis, psychodynamics, behavioral and cognitive behavior (Shapiro 2001). The free
association of psychodynamics suggests that bilateral stimulation of REMT can make patients' emotions,
body and cognition Increased connectivity and further exploration of associations between
unrecognized personal memories; behavioral thinking that structural self-control techniques such as
