Resolving Trauma (PTSD)

Mi Casa de Transiciones is a transitional safe home and modified Therapeutic Community (T.C.) for women who have experienced family violence and who also struggle with chemical dependency. In August of 1997 the National Resources Center against domestic violence (NRC) selected Mi Casa as one of only fifteen programs in the United States identified and reviewed as a CREATIVE APPROACHES PROGRAM.

Survivors who choose to utilize Mi Casa to change their lives are successful!!! 73% are drug and alcohol free and 84% avoid returning to their perpetrators. Mi Casa’s state of the art program builds self esteem and self efficacy by changing "I Can’t" victim mentality and self talk into "I CAN" self talk and overcomer mentality. Women and their children grow strong and assertive as success begets success.

Many of the survivors who choose Mi Casa literally, in a little as 97 brief therapy days, change into confident, strong women with hope, determination and identified meaning and purpose. WHAT IS THE SECRET TO THIS EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS???

Genuine care and concern, support, tough love, and personal choice in a safe drug and alcohol free environment where "WE BELIEVE YOU CAN AND EXPECT YOU TO SUCCEED" is the cultural norm.

Most women who find themselves chemically dependent have a severe history of family violence, abuse, and repeated boundary violations. These traumas too often date back to earliest childhood. Limiting addiction treatments to teaching the effects of alcohol and drugs on their bodies will do little if anything to empower long term abstinence. The real solution is to address and bring healing at the core level trauma point thus effectively extinguishing and eliminating the painful feelings behind the PTSD. The brief therapy tools in accomplishing this delicate surgical procedure is an eclectic use of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) combined with what ever else is available.

Please note: The belief of the therapist is if what you are doing doesn’t work do something else. It is important to realize that all interventions in this paper are only guidelines and subject to modification to accomplish individual objectives and integrate an individual’s strong resources or compensate for un-accessed resources.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a model of communication theory. Experts in the fields of linguistics, psychotherapy, and mathematics developed NLP for use in the psychotherapeutic environment. NLP is best explained as a series of tools that allow us to use the language more precisely to help clients get in touch with their resources, personal attributes, and capabilities.

NLP can further be explained as the study of subjective experience. That is, understanding how another person constructs reality in their mind. It does not rely on intuition, psychic abilities, or spiritual values. Rather, NLP relies on high level skills in observation and pattern recognition.

These writers investigated NLP and thanks to the assistance of Jake Eagle the evidence is convincing that NLP is not associated with or aligned with any kind of New Age philosophies. New Age tends to promote specific values. NLP is focused on the structure of thought, not the specific content, or values, being thought about.

It has been the experience of these writers that NLP as a brief therapy can effectively and fully resolve deep inner conflict and pain that would still remain unresolved after 6 months or even a year of traditional therapy.

PTSD was originally called combat fatigue and was seen as the reactions of combat veterans. Clinicians working with battered women and incest survivors identified the similarity of symptoms. Survivors of other traumas including natural disasters, earthquakes, bank robberies, fires, floods, or serious accidents also evidence the signs and symptoms of PTSD. Dissociation is believed to be an important indicator of PTSD especially for those who experience repeated abuse. PTSD has often been confused with other disorders including Borderline and Bi-Polar. Some assessment tests, which use computer printouts and do not look at history have even confused PTSD with some forms of schizophrenia.

PTSD survival coping strategies may include flashbacks, nightmares, and other intrusive memory symptoms. PTSD symptoms of high arousal and anxiety (fight response) and avoidance and emotional numbing (flight response) can be considered normal responses to situations that are perceived to be life threatening and dangerous.

One alternative way to avoid or take the flight response is escape by way of drug or alcohol use to the point of serious addiction.

These writers having done a great deal of reading and research on addictions and victimization are in agreement with the view points presented in the book VICTIM NO MORE.

The Mi Casa program and these writers also align with the work of Terry Kellogg who, has included in his teachings:

"Being victimized in the family hurts. It does not matter if the violence is received directly or indirectly. Children who witness abuse are victims of abuse. When we get into a victim role we tend to respond as a victim and stay in that role. When a person is victimized in the family they are too often set up for random victimization elsewhere. The victim role is not having the sense you can control what happens to you. It is the ultimate sense of powerlessness. Any victimization is trauma. PTSD is loss of belief in the ability to control ones destiny. PTSD is the loss of belief one can impact ones own life.

The roots of addiction lie in despair, isolation, poverty, trauma, abuse, child abuse, neglect, abandonment, and enmeshment. Growing up in a low functioning family with no one to depend on creates a dependency problem. If we can’t depend on the people around us we never learn to depend on ourselves. So some people become very dependable and others depend on externals, which become our addictions. The addict is a person who has had their vulnerability and their emotional reality denied and repressed in childhood. The hurt child is at the root.

Too often innocent children are the victims of inter-generational trauma and violence as well as chemical dependency. Is the reality of chemical dependency attempts to medicate PTSD effects from childhood? Attempts to medicate PTSD effects such as arousal, irritability, rage, depression, anxiety, social and sexual inhibition, that results from violence of childhood, the personality collapse, and the memory, mood and energy swings that go with PTSD? Possibly, IS ADDICTION A PTSD EFFECT???"

Too often trauma victims are trying to medicate their trauma responses with drugs and alcohol.

Specific individualized interventions are used to separate the survivor from her associated trauma memory. Many survivors have an extraordinary ability to dissociate. A skill, which kept them alive during their trauma experience. Rather then seeing this as a hindrance to mental health. It is helpful to empower the survivor to see how this skill in the proper context is useful in becoming an overcomer.

Spiritual Health

Human beings are spiritual beings. Healthy spiritual boundaries allow us to embrace our humanness. Healthy children are able to give and receive love. It is the belief of these writers that true healing must include spiritual health. Psychology, medical intervention and any other method may be applied. However, without change of the heart the healing will never be complete.

For the trauma survivor the ultimate boundary violation is spiritual abuse. Spiritual abuse literally destroys a person at their soul level. Children who are spiritually abused often walk in a state of TERROR. Shame + Fear = TERROR. Terry Kellogg states, all sexually abuse is also spiritually abuse. Too often children from environments where chaos or where RIGIDITY "rules", are made to fear through statements such as "You’ll go to hell for thinking those things!" or "God will punish you for breaking that dish." Some children have even experienced having the devil beat out of them. TERROR promotes perfectionism, shame, and over controlling behavior as well as destroying the ability to have healthy relationships.

When a survivor needs to do some very deep regression work one of the first essential tools is discernment of spirits. These writers are aligned with the tools used in the book PIGS IN THE PARLOR. Another resource for this work is the book STRONGMEN.

Hurt, pain, fear, shame, and guilt, are all ungodly spiritual hindrances which interfere with healing. It is not enough to release them on an emotional and intellectual level. Nor can they be fixed by medications.

It is important to note the program policy on spirituality, which all program staff align with regardless of personal values and beliefs.

Mi Casa is not a religious organization and does not either condemn any particular religious beliefs. We recognize that a spiritual component is an important part of a person’s individual growth toward a healthy balanced life style. "Spiritual" is defined by the clients themselves in a way that is meaningful to them. Staff are available to help clients identify a meaningful spiritual connection of their choice that may or may not involve an organization or structure. In context with valuing and appreciating individual beliefs, choices, and perspectives, the content of all treatment plans and interventions are to be designed to validate individual diversity.

For survivors who have Christian type beliefs it is suggested they read a metaphor/allegory HINDS FEET ON HIGH PLACES the story of Much Afraid’s adventure to follow the Shepherd to the mountain tops.

The writers of this document believe that the source of what is used and how it is used is the Holy Spirit the Divine one who orchestrates growth and healing.

Case Composite Study #1

39 year old, white, unemployed, female, without children due to two abortions and one miscarriage. Trauma history dating back to age 7 (molested by best friends father sever physical abuse by father, mother emotionally unavailable). Six different relationships with domestic violence. Adult trauma rape history (male and female perpetrators). Additional grief loss and PTSD from death of close friend shot in the head. Drugs of choice alcohol and heroin. 12 year history of sever IV usage. Felony drug related convictions. Numerous failed treatment episodes. High school education.

Treatment plan and interventions

Objective one: resolve the grief/loss issues and feelings of shame, guilt, regret, self hate, and self punishment associated with abortion and other loss.

1) Grief Loss- A Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic resolution

Created through the work of Debra Lynn Leewaye

Please note very deep level rapport and trust must be well established prior to this intervention. It is also a good idea to establish sates of excellence as a resource and make sure time lines are arranged in a healthy way prior to this intervention.

Advance preparation

Survivor reads little book GOOD GRIEF and then writes a good bye letter to source of grief/loss issue. If loss is unborn child it is often a good thing to name the child and bring the child to a place of "real" identify.

In a place where it feels emotionally safe create a sense of funeral this could be at a grave site, in a park where flowers grow, or simply in a room with two chairs placed together with flowers on top simulating an abstract of a casket. Place helium balloons preferably clear in the area at least one for each major loss in the "casket" or funeral area.

Often it is a good idea to work on memory picture sub-modalities prior to this intervention, making sure time lines are arranged in a healthly way and that major trauma death pictures have been desensitized. It is also helpful to blow up and brighten pleasant memories at this point.

Direct survivor to read good bye letters one after another. In between attend to auditory and play music. Jesus Has a Rocking Chair, works well for loss of children including abortion situations if in fact the woman has a Christian belief. If You Could See Me Now, works for loss due to sickness again if the survivor has Christian beliefs, or read a poem or play other music selection to inspire hope. The key here is to access primary grief feelings in the stomach area.

Once survivor is in touch with the grief feelings begin to validate the feelings giving her room to release through crying. Gently move balloons from where they where during the ceremony and attach them to the survivor at the wrists. Using NLP language move the grief pain from within her body up and out leaving the survivor and going up the ribbons of the balloon and filling the balloons with the grief. "Notice you now have the opportunity to let go of the grief slowly you will notice the grief leaving your body finding the grief leaving your stomach moving out of you and up the strands of the balloon leaving you and filling the balloon with all your grief." It is often helpful to touch the client on her stomach and then down her arms and the run your fingers going up the ribbon on the balloon toward the balloon to reinforce the movement of the grief feelings to external placement. After several minutes of this verbal and physical reinforcement pattern then refer to emptiness.

"You now notice the empty space in your stomach where the grief has left you. Realize you are now being filled with love memories. Remember the love you have for_______. Remember the special warm loving feelings. Picture the love you have inside. Realize you have made a choice to let go of grief and to hold on to love. And the love flows in and the grief flows out. As more and more love enters into you realize the grief is nearly all gone now. And the grief flows out and the love flows in. As the last of the grief leaves your body completely realize your choice is to let go of grief and remember in love. Let go now of any remaining grief, pain, same, guilt.... As the last of the grief is gone forever take in all the love you can hold today. Over the next few days and weeks you will notice the love and good memories will continue to grow and grow."

Repeat and modify until grief response is clearly extinguished. Depending on how deep this pain has been stuffed, how much and for how long, this process can happen quickly or take up to one hour or more.

Once desired change is in place direct the survivor to go out into an open space and "when you are ready to let go of the grief release the balloons and all of your grief and stay and watch until your grief in the balloons is gone forever."

The overcomer will usually feel tired and peaceful at the completion of this intervention and need to rest. Speak at all times thereafter of her memories as if they come from love expecting that the grief has actually floated away never to return.

This intervention has worked successfully in over 180 interventions over the past 5 years. The therapist can expect strong expression of gratitude and a sense of bonding to result from this level of intervention work. It is important to remind the overcomer that they did their own work. This will further instill "I CAN" mentality. The therapist is simply the vehicle of understanding.

Treatment plan and interventions

Objective two: resolving trauma with the child within.

1) Regression and Repair

Adapted through the work of Erma Espinoza and Debra Lynn Leewaye

Please note very deep level rapport and trust must be well established prior to this intervention. It is critical that states of excellence are well anchored and practiced and time lines are arranged in a healthy way prior to beginning this intervention.

It is really amazing as how many people were taught perfection skills as a little tiny child. No wonder there is so much failure in this world. These people were not able to be who they really are. They are an extension of who mom and dad are and of what mom and dad never were. It is awesome when any one can teach someone it is okay to be yourself with the traits you have good bad or other wise. It is critical to tell and reassure the survivor their survival skills will not be taken away. All skills can be polished and used appropriately.

Part one Regression:

Materials needed: fat preschool crayons, regular crayons, color books, writing paper (Big Chief note pad), bubbles, and play dough.

One of the things to do is to use the coloring books and crayons. Using the opposite hand from the one the survivor usually writes with causes her to get in touch with childhood memories, feelings, and emotions.

Pieces also used are the play dough and the bubbles. The play dough is very useful if the survivor is angry. She has the ability and a safe way to place anger outside of self and on to whom ever is needed through the clay. This gives the survivor a tangible way to deal with hate, anger and whatever else is needed. The survivor also smells this clay. This exercise does remind the survivor of earlier years in school and as a preschooler. Another regression method is to use the bubbles. In simple tangible reality the survivor is able to receive the gift of play. Many think this is a strange way to do therapy with adults. However, when the results are seen amazement is expressed. This begins the way to get in touch with the inner child or the child within. This is the child who is so wounded and in such great need to receive help. This inner child’s pain is extremely great and has basically brought the survivor down the road of destruction. The doors are open here to recovery in broad ways. The healing of the memories comes in and eventually the survivor receives forgiveness and inner peace.

Part two Repair also known as Change Personal History

Once regression is accomplished and the inner child and trauma point is identified the survivor is brought back to resourcefulness in the present using states of excellence.

Gain permission from the survivor to do the repair. Promise the survivor that the pain WILL STOP HURTING.

Send the adult survivor back to the child within. Find out what resource the child needed. (at the actual time of trauma) Direct the adult to return to the present fire the anchor back to excellence and resourcefulness. Then develop the needed resource perhaps it is comfort or love or protection or security. Direct the survivor to close her eyes and make a satin comforter (in the clients favorite color of course) and to sew into every stitch all the love, security, comfort or whatever that little_____ (use nick name if known) will ever need. Spend time developing the resource then direct the adult to take the comforter back to little ________ and wrap her up in the beautiful satin filled with (resources). Direct the adult to give the child a hug. (Physically take survivors arms and wrap them as to hug self) Give little_________ a kiss on top of her head and tell her that you love her and that you will protect her and that you will always be there for her. Now ask little_________ what else she still needs and return to the present. Do this until little_____ has everything she could possibly need. It may take as few as four or five trips or as many as 15 or more. (Note skin tone will make a dramatic shift when the work is actually complete.)

Each time a resource is developed ask survivor if as an adult does she now have the resource if so take that back if not then borrow it from somewhere or someone or create it to meet the need.

Somewhere in the intervention it will come up that humor or ability to laugh or play is needed. One good way is to create a giant toy box and fill it with every toy that can be thought of as well as laughter and giggles and silly wiggles and bubbles and balloons and CHILDHOOD INNOCENCE. It is at this point that innocence and playful self can be restored.

Once all the resources have been developed and taken back to the child gain permission from the child to help complete the healing. Have the child take some of all her new resources back to the very beginning of time. Back to the point of little_____’s conception in her mother's womb. Then have the child stop by and visit all the little______s along the way stopping long enough to leave enough new resources along the way and to notice how different resources make situations.

Explain that the child may need to stop more than once or stay longer during really difficult times. Make sure each little__________ along the way has all the resources she will ever need. Take as long as you need to visit and share resources with all the little, medium, and big ______s along the way. Visit and leave resources from the beginning of time to the very present and when you are finished go back to your place as a ____ year old and enjoy your resources. All the resources you will every need.

Do this as many times and for as long as necessary until the survivor returns to the present with a look of complete peace and relief.

Then future pace by saying: look out to the future when you will be faced with a very difficult situation. See yourself using your new resources. Notice how easily your problems are solved when you use your new resources. Then even further into your future you find a time when you will really be in a tight spot and you now notice yourself in the future using your resources and solving all problems easily.

Direct the overcomer to return to the present. Then ask her to check back in with the child and see how she is doing. Expect the report to be of one of complete and permanent change with no further access to the trauma incident.

Overcomer will be emotionally exhausted at the conclusion of this intervention. Give her time and space to rest.

Treatment plan and interventions

Objective three: validate clients need to "break the dishes" while releasing anger and other hindrances to positive attitude and mental health.

1) Drowning Destruction - A Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic metaphor to core level resolution.

Created through the work of Erma Espinoza and Debra Lynn Leewaye

Please note very deep level rapport and trust must be well established prior to this intervention.

Advance preparation: Tell survivor a metaphor about releasing and letting go. Talk about the river of life and give message resulting in cleansing and healing while survivor and staff are en-route to the river bed. (we use the Pueblo Nature Center).

Upon arrival at riverbank pace and lead and thus encourage survivor to begin throwing small rocks against other rocks which will simulate the sound of breaking glass. This validates the survivors stated need to act out anger and "break the dishes". It may be helpful for the survivor to scream and curse as part of releasing.

When survivor reaches a point of comfortable involvement suggest survivor make choice to rid herself of the things which are hindering her and weighing her down and contributing to feelings of depression. Lead survivor to identify what she wants to release for example self-pity. Direct the survivor to find a large rock or a huge rock, which represents self-pity. Support the survivor to throw and drown the rock in deeper river water while yelling good-bye self pity! Continue for shame, guilt, depression, anger, rage, self-hate, sabotage, and any other hindrances which come to mind for the client or to the therapist.

Once all identified hindrances have been appropriately drowned. Take the overcomer to a safe and quiet place and re-fill her with what ever resources she wants such as love, compassion, patience, self confidence and any thing else the survivor wants to take inside of her.

Note this intervention can be done with a very visual individual without actually going to the river. However, spacial interventions can be very powerful because they are so tangible.

Usually on the way back from the river a stop is made at the rapture center a home for wounded wild birds near the nature center (riverbank) in Pueblo. The overcomer is escorted to see the wounded birds, eagles, owls, and hawks, which are in captivity there.

Some version of the following metaphor by ERMA ESPINOZA is told...

A long time ago in my life I was in a situation that seemed hopeless. I ended up in some trouble. I had received a sentence of one day to life. One day after several years of incarceration, there were a couple of staff members that took some of us clients with privileges to the rapture center. In the center there were a whole bunch of wounded birds. I for one could never stand anything to be locked up. This saddened me to see these birds. I began to pray. I asked, "why are these birds locked up?" My prayer was answered like this "each one of these birds have been injured by man. Some of them were shot or caught in man made traps." Any way they were all locked up in these big cages. I also felt the same way since I was locked up too.

I was quiet inside of myself and began to hear "these birds are the same as you. The birds have been wounded by man. Some may never be able to leave here. Hurt by man and yet they still have to depend on man to eat. More so now then ever because they can’t fly. Their wings were broken and they have other injuries."

Never the less their beauty was so intriguing to me. I walked around each cage and watched the eagles, the owls, and the hawks. Their beauty was greater then their wounds to me. The unity was there with them. One on a top branch and one on the bottom branches. I saw a swimming pool and again their big cages. I was able to put myself in their cage and feel the woundedness of their lives and also of mine. Finally what came in to my heart was these birds, who will never leave here.

"You still have a chance to fly because your wings are wounded not broken as these birds are. You have a chance. Take that chance let man nurture you. Forget about them keeping you captive because I your LORD will help you to fly away. Find the free spirit that lives within. Remember man can always keep your body. Needless to say, he does not have your mind, spirit, or soul."

So now I too can fly on wings of eagles and soar in the sky where I am free and no man can ever keep me captive again. I truly am a free spirit and beauty is of nature. Therefore, I am of God and not of this world. As the eagles and birds remain locked up, man only has their body not their spirit and man never will have what belongs to the higher power. BE AT PEACE WITH YOURSELF AND OTHERS. Help the birds in captivity and choose to set them free.

The end of pain. FREEDOM IS MINE!!!

Case Composite Study #2

59 year old, Hispanic, disabled, female, with only grown children. Trauma history dating back birth (satanic ritual abuse). Several different relationships with domestic violence. Adult trauma rape history. Drugs of choice alcohol and prescription pain killers. Status at intake homeless and suicidal. Self reports to have seven multiple personalities.

Treatment plan and interventions

Objective one: integrate the survivors self identified "personality" parts to resolve survivors scattered self-image.

1) Parts Party as

Adapted through the work of Debra Lynn Leewaye

Please note very deep level rapport and trust must be well established prior to this intervention.

Advance preparation:

Dialog with survivor and check ecology of integration. In this case client indicated great hesitation to "destroy" the parts which she stated she believes to be responsible for her very survival. Therefore, an intervention which could of been completed in less then 1 hour was chunked down to two formal sessions over 1 months time reinforced with daily NLP language expecting positive results.

Session #1

Survivor had great fear of fire. However, she also had great value and appreciation for Native American culture. It is interesting to note a secondary outcome of reducing fear of fire was expected and achieved.

Three staff members and the survivor met together in a large open space. Survivor and staff sat on the floor "Indian style" in a circle equally spaced at 4 points around the "tribal fire". Survivor was then directed to invite each of her "personalities" into the circle and as the "chief in charge" introduce them to staff and to one another and then to take charge and direct them where to sit in the circle.

Once this was successfully accomplished and each "personality" identified and expressed their positive intention for the well being, concern for the welfare and best interests of the survivor and how their role benefits the survivor ("chief in charge"). All the personalities then began to talk and get to know one another.

Finally the all joined hands and created an inner circle with the "chief" and began singing in harmony and dancing and moving together with "everyone moving and going in the same direction to benefit the "chief".

Each day dialog took place indicating the "personalities" were in alignment with the "chief" and discussing and thus reinforcing how "everyone" was now able to communicate openly and work together to meet the "chiefs" goals and objectives"

Chaos and dissociation was significantly reduced.

Session #2

Approximately one month later when the survivor on her own without prompting indicated she was "ready for another party", all reconvened in the same open space.

After some dialog with the "Chief," regarding progress, expectations, and ecology as well as stage of readiness to integrate the "personalities." They were all invited back into the parts party circle.

Additional parts, two known well to the "Chief," two the "Chief" wants to know better, and two unknown to the "Chief." All join the circle and are directed where to sit by the "Chief."

Finally all the parts and "personalities" join hands and with the "Chief" form an inner circle moving together in unity and purpose to benefit the "Chief."

All the parts and "personalities" then blend into unity in the vivid colors of the rainbow. Moving faster and faster. Soon none of the colors are individually distinguishable. The overcomer is then told: the incredible unity and sense of oneness you now feel is over powering. Then the "Chief" was directed: in anyway that you feel comfortable and when you are ready take the unified meaning and purpose designed to benefit you back into yourself. Accept yourself as complete and whole. Then the "overcomer" reached out and took all of herself in and smiled a very special smile.

All behaviors, reference to, and acting out using the "personalities" as a mask or cover up were completely resolved.

These writers truly believe that the extraordinary deep level healing that turns survivors of trauma into overcomers is the result of the Holy Spirit directing the use of NLP and all the other tools and interventions in such a way that growth and change are inevitable. The therapist is the facilitator and change agent but neither the therapist nor her tools are the source of healing.

These writers firmly believe: all glory and honor for all personal and professional victories, go to God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ of Nazareth and the Holy Spirit. For it is only by the mercy and grace of God, that a way is made each day where there was no way and the work of these writers is made possible.

Just the fact that the incredibly opinionated, stubborn, and temperamental women here at Mi Casa manage to humble themselves on a daily basis and work side by side in peace, harmony, and aligned purpose is in itself the result of DIVINE INTERVENTION.

"Greater is He that lives with in me then he that lives in the world."

Joyce Meyer in her tape series THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD teaches "If you don’t learn any thing else learn it’s not about methods. God uses methods, but the method is of no value at all unless God decides to use it. You can do something five times and it will work because God’s anointing is on it. Just about the time you get your eyes on the method and off God, YOU WILL HAVE A PROBLEM! You are going to run to that method and God Himself will see to it, that the method doesn’t work any more for you. You might find everybody using that method, but it won’t work for you because God is going to do what ever he has to in your life to get you to seek Him first."

Mi Casa de Transiciones and these writers offer our sincere appreciation to all of the mentors and teachers who have made this incredible healing work possible.

We are especially grateful for the patience, healing, and teaching extended to us through Jake Eagle of NLP SANTA FE and for the scholarships and incredible lessons learned through involvement with NLP COMPREHENSIVE. The gifts you have given to us as individuals and as an organization shall forever, with gratitude and appreciation, be remembered and more importantly used and given back to others. Thank You and May God Bless You Always!!!
