Developmental Trauma and Childhood Trauma Developmental Trauma: Developmental trauma is where the persons relational field of safety experiences repeated ruptured without proper repair, where the environment is a cause of significant stress in the nervous system and there is a lack of resource and support in their primary relationships in order to be able to have repeatedly experiences of co-regulation and returning back to safe and calm. This kind of trauma is insidious, often hidden and normalized within the person's experience due to long term identification with the traits and bodily experience. The personality becomes oriented around surviving relational dynamics in their environment, developing adaptive personality traits and repressive ego defenses to keep the un-metabolized sensations at bay; this happens within their physiology and psychology. The body develops chronic tension patterns within the muscles, fascia and energy systems which then result in a physical and psychological posture that becomes the person's identity. These repressive structures turn into reactive patterns that become entangled together, coupled with different emotions, thoughts and the senses themselves. Developmental trauma happens within relational dynamics, which is why it is harder to spot than just significant events. It is more often about what did not happen, neglect rather than abuse, missing needs and experience manifest various coping strategies in adulthood including certain personality traits and addictions.

Addressing Loneliness: Interventions and Community Support Loneliness not only affects individual mental health but also has broader implications for public health. Effective strategies to address loneliness should include: -Developing and testing interventions targeting loneliness and enhancing social support. Give generic options and look at partnerships! Implementing community-based programs to foster connections and reduce social isolation like the klip community! -Encouraging social activities and support networks to help individuals feel more connected and supported. Loneliness is more than an emotional struggle—it's a public health concern. To tackle this issue, we need comprehensive interventions that foster social support and connection. Here are some evidence-based strategies: Community-Based Programs: Social clubs, volunteer opportunities, and senior centers can provide regular social interactions and a sense of belonging. Technology-Based Solutions: Online support groups and telehealth services offer accessible mental health support and foster virtual connections. Workplace Initiatives: Employee Assistance Programs, team-building activities, and flexible work arrangements help create supportive and connected work environments. Educational Programs: Workshops on social skills, mental health education, and public awareness campaigns can reduce stigma and promote social connections. Therapeutic Interventions: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, group therapy, and mindfulness practices can help individuals manage loneliness and build healthy relationships. Environmental and Policy Changes: Urban planning, accessible transportation, and policy advocacy create environments that encourage social interaction and inclusion. By implementing these interventions, we can reduce loneliness and improve the mental and physical health of individuals in our communities. Let's work together to create a more connected and supportive world. Loneliness isn't limited to a specific age or gender; it affects all of us. Women and older adults often feel it more acutely. Let's be mindful and inclusive, offering support to those who might need it. 🌍💚 #InclusiveSupport

NEW FREE ACAMH Topic Guide on Tourette Syndrome (TS) https://bit.ly/3isCRm2 "For TS to be diagnosed, multiple motor tics and at least one vocal tic must be present at some point during the course of at least 12 months. Symptoms usually present in children around the age of six years old, although formal diagnosis is not always immediate as the symptoms can go unidentified by both families and GPs and misattributed to allergies (e.g. sniffing) or a need for glasses (e.g. blinking or squinting)."
