Healing and growth after trauma in a rural Australian community - a case study
Journal Title: Edelweiss: Psychiatry Open Access - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This community case study outlines the development of a small group trauma recovery program (Leading from within), after several suicides created widespread community trauma. My training and almost 30 years experience as a Clinical Social Worker and my personal experience of trauma provided the impetus for this program which developed 20 years ago. The theoretical underpinnings include behavioural, depth, positive and energy psychology, trauma theory and the neuroscience of stress and trauma, attachment theory, family theory, wilderness theory, mind/body medicine, human potential theory, metaphysics (the science of Mind to Matter) [1], psychosynthesis and epigenetics (including the predisposition to transgenerational trauma).
