Chapter 3 Looking into the Brain: The Neuroscience Revolution ● What did you find most interesting about this article/chapter? I think the most interesting thing about this chapter is how neurobiology transformed the way we look at trauma. I thought it was super interesting that the researchers were triggering trauma responses for participants in the scanner and they are able to almost manipulate responses in the brain to study them. It was also interesting to me that trauma being triggered turned off part of the brain called Broca’s area. It causes people that are having a trauma response to not be able to put thoughts and feelings into words. I can see this happening also when I feel trauma responses being triggered. When words fail, they come as things like images and flashbacks. ● What questions came up for you as you read this? Describe what you wanted to know more about. When they put the clients in the scanner, the researchers read them stories that would trigger trauma. I think it would be interesting to see how the brain would be affected if the researchers were to have given the participants sounds or smells that might trigger trauma. I would be interested to know how strong the response in the brain is for an actual traumatic story versus a traumatic smell or sound. ● How do you think you can use this information in your future studies or future work? I think it can be super impactful for future clients I am working with to be able to understand the science behind what is happening in the brain as a result of trauma. The left side of the brain can actually shut off where people can’t comprehend that flashbacks are not happening in the present. I want to go into disability social work and I think having this knowledge on how trauma impacts the brain can be helpful in working with non-verbal clients especially. Even if a client can’t tell you how they are feeling, the brain activity that is triggered by trauma is still there. ● What information from this article do you think would be most helpful for families? Please explain why. I think it could be beneficial for families to know the brain science behind trauma. When you experience trauma, the limbic area or emotional part of the brain is triggered. Trauma gets triggered, blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen intake increase, causing the body to go into fight or flight. It is not something that people have control over. It is an automatic response and I think that would be most helpful for families to understand. Trauma responses can even be experienced years after a traumatic event has taken place.
