Key Takeaways:
- Anger as a secondary emotion to fear.
- Complex PTSD develops out of experiencing trauma on a daily or regular basis.
- The benefits of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DPT) for reducing anxiety and various symptoms of stress and trauma.
Speaking to Jennifer Ginty about her experience with childhood abuse, we highlight the complex world of dealing with C-PTSD. She peels back the layers of how repeated trauma shapes one's emotional landscape and relational dynamics.
In discussing the deeply embedded fears and self-doubt that results from childhood trauma, Jennifer enlightens us on the transformative power of therapies like EMDR and DBT, offering a testament to the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance. We further discuss the fundamental protective nature of anger and, how Jennifer's invention, My Moody Monster, can be used as a tool to help children express and cope with their emotions.
Jennifer provides practical tools and coping strategies that can help with recovery, sharing innovative methods involving My Moody Monster , the Crayola Model Magic, alongside the DEAR MAN communication technique, which together can be an excellent resource for those seeking to express and regulate emotions.
