National Child Traumatic Stress Network - Child Trauma Home | Wat is EMDR? – EMDR Welke voorbereidingen zijn nodig? EMDR werkt vaak snel. Daarnaast kan het ook een intensieve therapie zijn. Hoe gaat EMDR in zijn werk? De therapeut zal vragen aan de gebeurtenis terug te denken, inclusief de bijbehorende beelden, gedachten en gevoelens. Wat zijn de te verwachten effecten? De sets zullen er langzamerhand toe leiden dat de herinnering haar kracht en emotionele lading verliest. Hoe werkt EMDR? Een verklaring voor de werkzaamheid van EMDR is dat het terugdenken aan een nare herinnering in combinatie met het maken van oogbewegingen ervoor zorgt dat het natuurlijk verwerkingssysteem wordt gestimuleerd.

Alberto Santos-Dumont Alberto Santos-Dumont (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐwˈbɛʁtu ˈsɐ̃tuz duˈmõ]; 20 July 1873 – 23 July 1932) was a Franco-Brazilian aviation pioneer. The heir of a wealthy family of coffee producers, Santos Dumont dedicated himself to aeronautical study and experimentation in Paris, France, where he spent most of his adult life. Santos-Dumont designed, built, and flew the first practical dirigible, demonstrating that routine, controlled flight was possible. This "conquest of the air", in particular his winning the Deutsch de la Meurthe prize on 19 October 1901 on a flight that rounded the Eiffel Tower, made him one of the most famous people in the world during the early 20th century. Following his pioneering work in airships, Santos-Dumont constructed a heavier-than-air aircraft, the 14-bis. In his homeland, Brazil, Santos-Dumont is a national hero and honored as the father of aviation, having his name written in Brazilian Hero Panthéon.

The lifelong cost of burying our traumatic experiences By Shaoni Bhattacharya Past trauma can mean not feeling fully alive in the present (Image: Stanley Greene/Noor/eyevine) The trauma caused by childhood neglect, sexual or domestic abuse and war wreaks havoc in our bodies, says Bessel van der Kolk in The Body Keeps the Score WHAT has killed more Americans since 2001 than the Afghanistan and Iraq wars? And which serious health issue is twice as likely to affect US women as breast cancer? The answer, claims psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, lies in what we now understand about trauma and its effects. Take his two examples. Van der Kolk draws on 30 years of experience to argue powerfully that trauma is one of the West’s most urgent public health issues. And it is not only extreme experiences that linger. “Childhood neglect can prime individuals to be on high alert, their bodies tuned to fight or flight” He makes it clear why it’s so important: help parents with their problems, deprivation or social isolation, and you help their kids.

The Sagulator - Shelf Sag Calculator The Sagulator helps you design shelves by calculating shelf sag (deflection) given type of shelf material, shelf load, load distribution, dimensions, and method of attachment. You can also specify an edging strip to further stiffen the shelf. See the notes below for usage tips. Notes 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Tips for Managing Shelf Sag If shelf span is reduced by one-fifth, stiffness is roughly doubled (deflection is halved). Credits and References The Sagulator employs established engineering formulas for calculating beam deflection. Special thanks to Steve Stephenson for providing initial formulas and Jeff Bratt for his very helpful input (including the spiffy shelf diagram), and derivation of formulae for handling an edging strip.

Parenting Gay Teens: Deciphering the Coming Out Process The coming out process for a GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender) adolescent can be a challenging moment for not only the teenager, but also their family and friends. It is a time of high emotions that can run the gamut from confusion, shock, disbelief, rejection, and anger, to acceptance, calmness, understanding, and concern. It is important at this potentially fragile time for parents and teens to be kind to each other and create room for this new information and identity to be processed. Adolescence is a time when feelings and thoughts of sexuality become intense and confusing. For many gay teens, feeling different from their friends creates a pressure to fit in and keep their sexual orientation secret. They can fear rejection, discrimination and even violence. The process of coming out usually starts with the sharing of feelings with a close friend or family member.

It Didn’t Start With You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are By Mark Wolynn Guest writer for Wake Up World A well-documented feature of trauma, one familiar to many, is our inability to articulate what happens to us. We not only lose our words, but something happens with our memory as well. During a traumatic incident, our thought processes become scattered and disorganized in such a way that we no longer recognize the memories as belonging to the original event. Instead, fragments of memory, dispersed as images, body sensations, and words, are stored in our unconscious and can become activated later by anything even remotely reminiscent of the original experience. Sigmund Freud identified this pattern more than one hundred years ago. Freud’s contemporary Carl Jung also believed that what remains unconscious does not dissolve, but rather resurfaces in our lives as fate or fortune. Recent advances in imaging technology have allowed researchers to unravel the brain and bodily functions that “misfire” or break down during overwhelming episodes.
