Study of Adolescents
Recalling Maltreatment
Maltreatment in childhood may alter the regulatory capacity of the
brains fear circuit, leading to increased internalizing symptoms by
late adolescence.
Brain scans showed that in adolescents who had been maltreated as
children, the connection with the hippocampus was relatively weak.
Maltreatment predicts lower prefrontalhippocampal connectivity
in females and males but lower prefrontalamygdala connectivity
only in females.
"These kids seem to be afraid everywhere," he says. "It's like they've
lost the ability to put a contextual limit on when they're going to be
afraid and when they're not. Ryan Herringa, November 2013
Childhood maltreatment is associated with altered fear circuitry and
increased internalizing symptoms by late adolescence. NPR, November

Bullying Paradigm
Aggressor, Prey, Witness
Using Biological Language
Aggressor is the experience a person can be in when he is looking
for someone who is out to get him. He is in a constant state of fight.
Prey is when a person feels under attack. An individual can begin to
feel there is no safety and someone may be always out to get them.
A person can feel like prey as a result of violence, combat, partner violence, child
abuse, etc..

The Story
39
Resiliency Pauses
Survivors may think healing means they must tell the story of
their suffering.
Although the story of past experiences may be important to be
shared and witnessed, the story of the traumatic experience
does not have to be retold.
If a person you are sharing CRM Skills wants to tell you their
story, you can gently ask them about the survival elements of
their story.
Remember, CRM skills are NOT psychotherapy.

Resiliency Pauses
CRM Resiliency Pauses can be interwoven if the person wants to
tell you their story.
You can tell me as much or as little about what happened to
you.
If you want to tell me the story, I would like to remind you of
the CRM skills we have already learned or if they have not yet
learned CRM skills, you can ask strength based questions about the
story.
