How Trauma is Hidden
In this video, Dr. Tony Madril is going to answer the question: How might secondary symptoms be masking unprocessed trauma from the past? There are several ways that secondary symptoms in a person’s life may be masking underlying trauma. For instance, frequent headache was associated with emotional, sexual, and physical abuse in the landmark Adverse Childhood Experiences Study. Other examples of secondary symptoms include compulsive behaviors, difficulty managing emotions, panic attacks, persistent relationship problems, and unexplained medical conditions.

Working Through Trauma-Related Travel Fears
In this video Dr. Tony Madril will answer the question: How can trauma therapy help me overcome fears of traveling? Following trauma, the nervous system may become hypersensitive to stress. Another consequence may be that the part of the mind that holds the memory and distress of the trauma may try to “protect” the person from future harm by activating the fight-flight-freeze response when confronted with a stressful (yet, innocuous) situation that–in its hypersensitive state–perceives as overwhelming. In some cases, a memory of past trauma may be “feeding” the fear of traveling. Click here
Types & Timing of Trauma Interventions

Radical Acceptance for Emotional Regulation
In this final video on the topic of emotional regulation for trauma recovery, Dr. Madril is going to answer the following questions:
1. What is radical acceptance?
2. How can radically accepting my emotional pain and viewing it as “temporary” improve my situation?
Radical acceptance can be defined as the complete and total acceptance of reality as it is. For instance, a person can radically accept that, in this moment, they are feeling anxious and afraid by noticing the discomfort and not trying to change it. How does this help? Research suggests that cultivating acceptance can improve one’s ability to reinterpret reality and better cope with life’s difficulties.
