Overview
"According to Foa and Kozak (1986), a fear structure becomes a problem when (1) the information in the structure does not accurately represent the world, (2) physical and escape/ avoidance responses are triggered by harmless stimuli, (3) the fear responses interfere with daily functioning, and (4) harmless stimuli and responses are viewed as being dangerous"
(as cited in PTSD Workbook Chapter 1, n.d., p. 4).
How it Works
trauma narrative is developed that activates network of cognitive, emotional, behavioral, andphysiological responses to trauma memories
processing of the traumatic experience occurs with guidance from a clinician
corrective information is provided to help the individual learn more adaptive responses
individuals create new pathways to better respond to their fear structure (the trauma)
(Alpert et al., 2021)
Importance
The emotional processing theory is important for eduactors to understand because it encourages neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity as defined by Puderbaugh and Emmady (2023) "is a process that involves adaptive structural and functional changes to the brain" (para. 1). It is further defined as "the ability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, functions, or connections" (para. 2). In order to help students overcome their trauma and be resilient, we must help them work through their repsonses.
