How to find the differences.

First of all, let's define some terminology. In the abbreviation "psycho" can escape both mental and psychological trauma, and this is a huge difference between the two, which in any case should not be confused.

Trauma is a serious mental disorders that affect the brain. Possible memory lapses, inadequate response, the absence of logic in actions and thoughts, confused speech. A favorite technique of many writers and writers – amnesia, when a character is the result of a terrible accident, gets a few scratches, but loses memory, stop to see relatives and friends, this is a typical mental trauma.

It requires the help of professional doctors and medication as the person with the mental trauma of losing the adequacy of perception, including sense of self, and in some cases may present a danger to others and himself.

It should be noted that in the presence of traumatized people rarely admit – its real owners just don't understand the complexity of the situation, and to simulate such a syndrome actually means to acknowledge in his own madness, and who cares? Quite another thing is the psychological trauma. There from sufferers no end.

Psychologists define the term "psychological trauma" as atypical, inappropriate human behavior, which in this case is not suffering from mental disorders. The hypothetical reason for such behavior can serve as meaningful for the individual event, with a pronounced negative connotation. And the key word here is "meaningful" because the same situation may be perceived by different people quite differently, and that can shake to the core one person, indifferent to the other.

However, glossy magazines and spooky psychobabble sites are so massively disseminated by the syndromes of psychological trauma that it came into Vogue. In the mass consciousness psychological trauma is any possible harm caused by the actions of other people or adverse life circumstances that may disrupt the psychological comfort of man.

So does the nature of psychological trauma, or is it an invention of the media? Try to understand.

Truth and fiction about psychological trauma.

Actively exploited the term "psychological trauma" was in the 80s of the twentieth century, along with the increasingly rapid popularity of so-called "crisis psychology." While clear criteria for defining psychological trauma had never been formulated, each case is individual, but there are several signs that help to determine whether or not the place to be psychological trauma, or is it just the time of a bad mood:

— An event that is considered traumatic psyche. Today this sign includes everything: parents did not buy an expensive smartphone "like everyone else" – the child was teased by classmates, he got a psychological trauma and now is not confident. Teacher of the noise in the classroom, not understanding, failing the whole class, including those who were silent – so why to learn the lessons, if life is still unfair.

The head stripped of the award for outstanding plan will work "carelessly", because I still don't appreciate, etc. in Fact, any incident that has a negative connotation, is the psychological trauma. However, forgotten one important point – the event must be meaningful for the person. But it is not all clear.

Everyone values his life. For example, to escape from the apartment in case of fire is an extraordinary event, and therefore significant, and may become a psychological trauma. But at the same time, firefighters routinely put their lives at risk at liquidation of consequences of emergency situations, and psychological trauma do not feel, consciously choosing this.

Involvement in the situation is another mandatory feature of psychological trauma. How often do we hear the advice: there is a problem – distance themselves from her, you look from the side and you will find the solution. But the psychological trauma people fully associate themselves with the negative event, thinking of it, necessarily thinks of himself and Vice versa.

We should not forget that by itself, this symptom occurs quite often – and certainly among your friends there are those who many of the events, like the potty, "take to heart". Yes, these people are more worried about "wasting your nerves", but by no means are in a state of psychological trauma, it's just a peculiarity of temperament.

— Vivid, Intrusive memories. A sign is a continuation of involvement in the situation. A mentally healthy person can store in memory all the memories, no matter how bright they may be. Two or three days, and fading paint, the emotions smoothed out, the event would be moved to an archive file marked "good" or "bad".

But any psychological trauma, even a slight reminder, like a re-immerses a person in a stressful situation, forced to live it again and again after days, months and even years. However, he and many other events in life begins to perceive negatively, as if through the prism of the shock.

On the other hand, there are people who deliberately cultivate negative memories, literally savor them, especially if there is a listener. This happens for a number of reasons, usually owing to the prevailing worldview, social circle, or simply from a lack of other interesting and important classes of bright emotions.

As one village grandmother, when I came on vacation to her granddaughter read his essay on the novel by L. Tolstoy "Anna Karenina": "the Cow, your Anna must. Preferably two"! If a person can distract from introspection in the experiences by a new occupation – it's not psychological trauma.

— Another sign of psychological trauma, or rather, its consequence is the violation of the normal order of development of the person, the natural function of the soul, the penchant for destruction. The psychological impact is so strong that the handle itself does not work, people lose life goals, and the constant push to experience the most rapid relief from emotional pain.

But the active development of the personality, in fact, the phenomenon is not frequent. Where more people choose to live passively, to wait until "the master will come and all the seedlings", and in the meantime relax with alcohol and other means that can deliver a pleasant feeling.

Anyway, even individually, are signs of psychological trauma – the phenomenon unpleasant, but an experienced psychologist will help you deal with them, often in just a few sessions. If genuine psychological trauma to work, of course, have longer, but if the person truly wants to solve the problem – most importantly, do not delay, seek help as soon as possible. No wonder when there is a man-made disaster, the lifeguards must work psychologists in helping victims cope with psychological trauma.
