The Connection Between Psychosis Trauma And Dissociation An: Fill & Download for Free

Sounds like glossolalia or something like apraxia perhaps. With the first I doubt there is a connection with ASD there, but research into DID indicates there is a connection. With the latter it often indicates neurological damage usually from a stroke, but can be other things.A greater part of our brain processes is made up of subconscious processes, most of these being involuntary. The human brain tends to use conscious processes to steer, but sometimes due to trauma in the brain that fails to happen. That word trauma by the way can be taken in several ways, as either injury or psychological. Old research also indicated a connection between trauma and psychosis of which some of the symptoms can include incoherent speech. Psychosis like symptoms can be part of DID. The disorder usually shares comorbidities with other disorders, some of which are known for actual psychotic state, but people in such a state tend to lose touch with reality. In such a state people are also sometimes incapable of feeling pain. Part of dissociation seems to be a defense mechanism against pain gone haywire. Pain can be physical or emotional.There is very little research into the subconscious mind, scientists only understand a part of it and DID research is often controversial, but it seems anxiety plays a big role in the triggers. Anxiety differs from fear, the first is an emotion, the latter a feeling. Some people with ASD have what is called alexithymia, where they have inability or great difficulty describing their own emotions or those of others. There is also a large relation with that and PTSD by the way.

The answer is a definite yes, as reported in articles like this one: Childhood trauma, psychosis and schizophrenia: a literature review with theoretical and clinical implications. Note that there is also a dosage effect: meaning the more trauma someone experiences, the more likely they are to experience what psychiatrists call “schizophrenia” as a result.The question of “why” is a tricky one, but I believe it has a lot to do with dissociation, which is essentially, the way we try to push things out of our mind. The problem is that while part of someone’s mind wants to not remember the trauma, another part of the mind does want to remember it and focus on it: this ambivalence can lead to an experience of disguised versions of the original trauma, which can include berating or commanding voices etc.I notice one person who answered this question, Cali, stated that trauma can only cause schizophrenia “if the person already has the genetic component.” But we really have no evidence that any particular set of genes are required for someone to develop schizophrenia. It’s more likely that some people are more genetically at risk than others, but for anyone, the wrong combination of experiences could push them into psychosis and eventually schizophrenia.And I also noticed that another answer, by Susan, attempted to assert that trauma cannot cause schizophrenia, but can only “increase the risk.” I believe that to be nonsense. It’s like saying that drinking alcohol cannot cause a car accident, but can only increase the risk, since after all the vast majority of trips taken by people who drive after drinking do not get in a wreck. It is of course likely that other factors also play a role in any accident, but we say the drinking causes accidents because many of these accidents would not have happened without the drinking, just as many cases of schizophrenia would not happen without the trauma. (Susan also makes a bizarre claim that it is possible to diagnose schizophrenia just by feeling a brain, but in fact there are still no physical tests, no matter how sophisticated, that can diagnose schizophrenia. And trauma itself can cause brain differences, as documented in http://www.jneuropsychiatry.org/peer-review/the-traumagenic-neurodevelopmental-model-of-psychosis-revisited-neuropsychiatry.pdf )The connection between trauma and psychotic disorders is explored in much more detail in my online course, https://www.udemy.com/course/working-with-trauma-dissociation-and-psychosis/

No. Psychosis is a break from reality. It is typified by active hallucinations, whether auditory, visual, etc. in which the person believes they are sensing something from outside of them. Dissociation is a state of internal consciousness, or rather lack of consciousness. It is a lack of connection between otherwise connected elements of consciousness, such as memory, meaning, emotional context, identity, language, and even senses. It is a trauma induced coping strategy and processing loop within a persons internal perception. Psychosis is where the brain manufactures external stimuli, often or usually totally unrelated to actual memories.
