We know about the potholes that pull our clients into pits of self-doubt and worthlessness. But do we help them find solid footing after the potholes have pulled them down.

Understanding reenactments is one way that we can heal from trauma. Healing helps us refrain from traumatizing or re-traumatizing others due to our own inability to emotionally regulate.

Anticipation, anxiety and God’s promises
Some anxiety is good, as a measure of stress is needed to provoke proper preparation. Unhealthy or unhelpful anxiety occurs when the dread of the future immobilizes us.

Ed. note: Dr. Harise Stein at Stanford University edits a website — abuseresearch.info — that focuses on the health effects of abuse, and includes research articles on PACEs science. Every month, she posts summaries of the abstracts and links to research articles that address only PACEs. Here are 4 of the 30 that she found for this week. You can read them all here.

Childhood sexual abuse and pervasive problems across multiple life domains: Findings from a five-decade study.
Dev Psychopathol. 2022:1-17. PMID: 36562290
“In 937 individuals followed from birth to age 45 years, we assessed associations between CSA [childhood sexual abuse] (retrospectively reported at age 26 years) and the experience of 22 adverse outcomes in seven domains…After adjusting for confounders, CSA survivors were more likely than their peers to experience internalizing, externalizing, and thought disorders, suicide attempts, health risk behaviors, systemic inflammation, poor oral health, sexually transmitted diseases, high-conflict relationships, benefit use, financial difficulties, antisocial behavior, and cumulative problems across multiple domains in adulthood. In sum, CSA was associated with multiple persistent problems across adulthood, even after adjusting for confounding life stressors, and the risk for particular problems incremental with CSA severity. The higher risk for most specific problems was small to moderate, but the cumulative long-term effects across multiple domains reflect considerable individual and societal burden.”

Trauma exposure and eating disorders: Results from a United States nationally representative sample.
Int J Eat Disord. 2022 Aug;55(8):1079-1089. PMID: 35719053
From a large national survey, “only events such as rape and sexual assault are associated with anorexia nervosa, but most trauma types are associated with binge eating disorder. Therefore, the relationship between trauma and binge eating disorder may function differently than other eating disorders.”

Interparental Coercive Control and Child and Family Outcomes: A Systematic Review.
Trauma Violence Abuse. 2022:15248380221139243. PMID: 36573654
“Coercive control (CC) is a core facet of intimate partner violence (IPV) and involves asserting power, dominance, and control over another person.” From a research review, “CC was associated with increased parental psychopathology, poorer family functioning, harsher parenting and higher levels of child abuse, strained parent-child relationships, children used as tools and co-victims of CC, increased risk of child internalizing and externalizing problems, limited socializing opportunities, increased bullying, poorer perinatal outcomes, limited access to healthcare, and increased risk of child mortality. Evidence identified CC as a unique contributor to adverse child wellbeing outcomes, independent of exposure to IPV more broadly.”
