Taming Trauma Beasties Review:
The concept of "trauma beasties" was developed by Dr. Gallagher to help foster parents address the needs of children suffering the persistent effects of trauma. In the course of working with children's trauma beasties, she teamed up with Dr. Karjala to present a synthesis of traditional psychotherapy and energy psychology in Taming Trauma Beasties: Helping Children Confront Trauma and Heal (ThomasMax Publishing, 2007).

What are Trauma Beasties?
"Trauma beasties" is Gallagher's phrase for the thoughts, feelings and memories that recreate a trauma or trigger fears, discomfort, nightmares or flashbacks. The concept of a "trauma beastie" allows children to understand and express their feelings and gives caregivers – be they parents, teachers or foster parents – a framework to discuss the ways that children may be acting out as a result of fears about earlier experiences.

The trauma beastie concept was developed over ten years ago by Mary Gallagher, Ph.D. but, she says, "The initial formulation of the Trauma Beastie concept could help children manage and regulate the trauma symptoms but could not neutralize them. It needed to include an intervention that could tame the Trauma Beastie." With her discovery of energy psychology, that intervention was born.

Thank you for sharing this...when I have more time it is something I would like to pursue...having experienced this kind of thing myself and seen how it effected my life, I hope I might be able to help others. Only recently have I felt freed of it. And I am sure it had something to do with my first suicide attempt at the age of 12. I am glad that people are starting to recognize the deep pain that children feel and trying to help them deal with it...maybe more tragedies can be de-railed and more healing take place whether we be teens or mid-lifers...I like to think that healing is always posssible.....I may be jumping in a bit since I have not checked the web-sites....If so please forgive me

((Tena)) thanks for sharing this! It looks very interesting.

I wish I could send a copy of a CD that I have by a very beautiful woman doctor named Diana Keck. A series of meditation - guided imagery. I fault me for not centering myself with it as of late.

Often I think people look at these ways as something they just can't get into. I know I thought that my entire adult life. But these kinds of practices can and do help.

And of course those who find solace in prayer.

Meditation, prayer, all good things.
