Trauma and its Impact

Trauma Informed Practice Principle
Trauma Informed Practice Principle: Trauma-informed practice principle means understanding
and integrating past and present instances of trauma and violence in every aspect of care
delivery. The focus of trauma-informed care is eliminating the risk of re-traumatizing individuals
and provide with required support for ensuring choice, control, and safety of care users (Butler,
Critelli,& Rinfrette, 2011).
Major Issues in Trauma
As per the case study of Lisa, who is a regular cannabis user and occasional speed user.
She started a new life with his boyfriend after leaving her parents. After this event, some of the
problems that come out are thought content issue, perception issue, command hallucination, risk
assessment, formulation & action, appearances issue, change in behavior (French et al., 2015).
Factors contributing to substance use
Ordinarily, when an individual remembers anything, he/she can recollect the data in a prompt
manner.
In the case of Liza, there might be many possibilities or reasons due to which, she started taking
drugs. Some of the possible reasons are :
The very first reason that may be considered to contribute to the reason for her to take drugs is
her boyfriend, John. She seems to be a victim of physical violence and harassment. It might be
possible that her boyfriend beats her regularly and forces her to do things. She also claims that
there are cameras everywhere spying her. She feels alone and that's the reason she is forced by
herself to sleep in the shed. Moreover, she also keeps a knife in order to defend herself in the
case if her boyfriend attempts to hurt her in any way (“DreamSchemaMedia”, 2011).
The above conclusion might be a hallucination that has been created in the mind of Liza as she
says that John has never attempted anything on her neither has he tried to hurt anyone ever but it
could be possible that due to an intake of drugs, she forgets things. Her boyfriend might have
harassed her and she doesn’t remember that but is terrified that he might hurt her. She also adds
that her boyfriend has fit a transmitter into her stomach and all her actions are being watched.
She has been terrified (“DreamSchemaMedia”, 2011).

Due to such reasons, it might be possible that her mind forced her to intake drugs.
Another possible reason included in her drugs taking might be her family issues. She explains
that her parents did not want her to move in with John. Then also, she goes against her parents
and decides to live with her boyfriend. Due to the above circumstances, she stops talking with
her parents.
Sometimes, such things happen when our parents are thinking just opposite to us and want us to
do something else but we do not listen to them and follow our mind. In such cases, we do those
things we wanted to do but eventually, lose our happiness. Such circumstances in certain cases
have a major psychological impact (Alzghoul, 2014). It might be possible that the same thing
happened with Liza. She does not follow and decided to follow her dreams. In order to do so, she
disappointed her parents and at the end, she ended up being unhappy and away from her parents,
which eventually had a major psychological impact on her, leading her to get involved in
substance use.
Her parent’s disappointments could have been the reason for her to take drugs and forget
everything that happened for a while. She might be terrified of losing her parents for her
boyfriend (“DreamSchemaMedia”, 2011).
One more reason that might be considered as the reason for Liza to take drugs could be that her
medications were stopped.
Some people regularly choose to quit utilizing their medications once they begin to feel good.
This might lead to depressions or other health-related issues. It is critical to painstakingly think
about this choice and ideally, examine your longing to end medicine with your social insurance
proficient. Liza’s case might be similar to this (“DreamSchemaMedia”, 2011).
Frequently, it could be a good step to hold up some time in the wake of inclination better before
she suspended her medicine.
At the point when individuals quit taking their prescription too early, side effects can return and
at times the medicine does not have a similar impact or power on temperament side effects
whenever around. When you have rolled out the improvements expected to help your continued
emotional wellness, you'll need to ensure they are ingrained and part of your life with the goal
that you will keep on being bolstered along these lines after your prescription has halted (Briere,
& Scott, 2014). Different occasions, individuals may discover the prescription they are taking
never again works and they may need to stop one kind of medicine to begin another. Moreover,
