This model is founded on the premise that neural development must occur in order, and that if a child misses a developmental milestone due to the effects of their environment (such as abuse, neglect, or other trauma), that milestone can\u2019t be \u201cskipped over.\u201d For example, if a child is not spoken to during their early childhood years, they won\u2019t develop the language skills needed to speak or understand others at the same time other children do, and depending on the extent of the deprivation, they may never develop their language faculties at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, since brain development is cumulative, if a milestone is missed, the functions that build on that milestone won\u2019t develop properly either. The brain will still require a specific type of stimulation to develop that foundational function or region. This means that <strong>we can\u2019t treat traumatized children based on their chronological age; rather, we must treat them based on their <\/strong><strong><em>developmental <\/em><\/strong><strong>age<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: The psychological term used to describe the state of someone who hasn\u2019t progressed past a certain point in their development is <a href=\"https:\/\/psychcentral.com\/ptsd\/signs-trauma-has-you-stuck#effects-of-trauma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>arrested development<\/em><\/a>. Psychologists note that when children experience trauma, it can pause their emotional development in particular. For others, the trauma may also lead to <em>age regression<\/em>, which is when you achieve a certain level of developmental maturity but then revert back to feelings or behavior from an earlier period. Age regression may occur as an involuntary symptom of arrested development, but it can also be used as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/mental-health\/what-is-age-regression-therapy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">voluntary coping mechanism or therapeutic treatment<\/a>. For example, a therapist might have someone return to their childhood state of mind to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-process-trauma-on-your-own\/\">process trauma<\/a> from that time.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-effective-therapy-look-like\">What Does Effective Therapy Look Like?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Effective trauma therapy must have certain characteristics: It must involve regular, repeated experiences that build on the patient\u2019s existing skills and target their needs; it must take place in a predictable environment in which the patient feels safe; and it must be patient-directed and voluntary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therapists drawing on the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics progress through the following four steps:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Understand the patient\u2019s history, including the type of trauma they experienced and when they experienced it, as well as the patient\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/realationships-with-others\/\">relationships with others<\/a>.<\/li><li>Understand the patient\u2019s current status, including their strengths, needs, and the quality of their relationships with others.<\/li><li>Create a treatment plan that builds on the patient\u2019s skills and targets their needs.<\/li><li>Implement the treatment plan and adjust it as needed.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Even with the best therapist and a plan that includes the steps described here, therapy may not be effective if the patient can\u2019t adhere to the treatment plan. Experts suggest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/seeing-what-others-dont\/201909\/is-wanting-change-enough\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">that patients\u2019 ability and willingness to adhere to a therapeutic treatment plan depends on six factors<\/a>: 1) believing the therapy will work, 2) understanding how the therapy will help them, 3) understanding how to use the plan, 4) having the ability to act when needed, 5) having the resources to act when needed, and 6) having a reward to reinforce the desired behavior and beliefs. Because child therapy may be more adult-directed, adults will need to help facilitate these conditions.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the best methods for treating childhood trauma?
