all of the above
the first and second choices above
 
6)
Retraumatization
 
refers to the effect of being exposed to multiple traumatic events
is the process of re-experiencing traumatic stress as a result of a current situation that replicates in some way the prior traumatic experiences (e.g., smells, environment, interactions with others).
can be caused by treatment practices such as being confrontational or labeling stress reactions as pathological, which produces feelings like those experienced in traumatic situations (e.g., loss of control, being trapped, feeling disempowered).
all of the above
only the first and second choices above

trauma-related stress reactions and symptoms resulting from exposure to another individual’s traumatic experiences.
a traumatic experience which is followed by a second similar traumatic experience.

9)

can be viewed with a 'resilience' or 'adaptive' mindset instead of a 'pathology' mindset
are normal reactions to abnormal situations
all of the above
the first and second choices above
 
11)
A trauma-informed approach begins with re-examining treatment strategies and program procedures that could inadvertently replicate traumatic experiences (e.g., loss of control, being trapped, feeling disempowered).
 
True False
 
12)
Which is NOT a good practice when working with Trauma Survivors?
 
Help clients understand the connection between their mental health and substance use issues and their traumatic experiences, which can be a circular pattern.
Help the client gain a sense of control and empowerment by creating opportunities for empowerment.
Give clients/consumers the chance to obtain state training and certification, as well as employment in behavioral health settings as peer specialists.
Develop a knowledge of a client’s strengths, and use a strengths-based approach to helping the client learn 'what works for you?' -- e.g., self-care skills and coping strategies.
Protect the client from difficult situations and emotions whenever possible.
 
13)
We should educate clients about trauma to help NORMALIZE traumatic stress reactions -- framing them as manageable rather than dangerous.

14)
The individual's culture influences their interpretation of traumatic events, including their beliefs about personal responsibility for the trauma.
 
True False
 
15)
This course emphasizes that
 
traumatic events impact most people in essentially the same way, and therefore we are able to use a standardized treatment approach.
the reaction to and interpretation of any traumatic event is unique to the individual, and the recovery process is therefore a collaborative venture.
 
16)
We can safely assess the individual's level of traumatic stress and the impact of the trauma by observing the severity of the individual's symptoms.
 
True False

True False
 
23)
This course tells us that clients may attempt to make sense of and gain control over a traumatic experience by
 
assigning the blame for the trauma to someone with whom the client has had an historically unsatisfying relationship.
assuming responsibility or survivor’s guilt, i.e., guilt because others who experienced the same trauma as the client did not survive.
 
24)
Dissociation
 
is feeling alienated from others, sometimes through believing that they are “damaged goods” and different than others.
is disruption of the core belief that the world is safe and that one’s efforts and intentions can protect against bad things.

projecting, denying, or distorting their trauma-related emotional and cognitive experiences.
attempting to gain control over their experiences by being aggressive or subconsciously reenacting an aspect of the trauma.
all of the above
 
26)
Some clients will not make the connection between trauma in their histories and their current patterns of behavior (e.g., alcohol and drug use, destructive relationships, self-defeating behaviors, avoidance, seeing a foreshortened future, etc.).
 
True False
 
27)
What is NOT an approach used in the 'Trauma-Informed Treatment Objectives and Strategies' section of this course?
 
Normalize symptoms: Have client make a list of symptoms and identify both the negative and the positive consequences of each one.
Teach “Cognitive Realignment” - a technique to help manage trauma-related triggers when they occur, i.e., helping client to consciously identify triggers and to recognize the difference between the current situation and the past trauma.
Prevent Retraumatization: Be mindful that efforts to control and contain a client’s behaviors in treatment can produce an abnormal reaction, particularly in trauma survivors for whom being trapped was part of the trauma experience.
Help the client develop coping strategies for each trauma-associated trigger situation or feeling, and to report the success or problem with the strategy.
Communicate to the client that treatment is not complete until he or she can fully process the traumatic experience without dissociating, shutting down, or becoming emotionally overwhelmed.
 
28)
A key therapeutic activity is to support the client's EMPOWERMENT: Help the client to establish a sense of self-efficacy — build and support the clients’ belief in their ability to carry out specific coping strategies successfully.
 
True False
