Maggie Schauer is a psychologist and a proven expert in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. Her expertise takes her around the globe to war zones and crisis regions, to people who have experienced natural disasters and to former child soldiers. She says: Trauma affects everyone. Topics in this episode: 00:00 What is trauma? 5:18 What concerns you about other people's suffering, Maggie Schauer? 12:50 Why is it important to know how often you have been traumatized? 21:51 How do I know if I am developing post-traumatic stress disorder? 25:40 How does narrative exposure therapy (NET) work? 39:51 Does every refugee need therapy? 47:20 What needs to happen in this country to promote trauma therapy? 52:31 Trauma affects us all - what should we do next? Traumatization is by no means rare. It is not only physical violence or extreme deprivation that has a traumatic effect, but also deep insults, bullying or withdrawal of love. Trauma inflicted on children is particularly serious. Whether those affected also develop mental illness depends less on the severity of the experience than on the frequency of it, says psychotraumatologist Maggie Schauer. People who had a secure childhood are better able to cope with a natural disaster or an escape later on. However, trauma-related illnesses need to be treated not only because of the enormous suffering they cause, but also because they have a great potential for danger if left untreated: trauma is not only passed on, but often leads to outbreaks of violence. Schauer is convinced that trauma affects everyone, and calls for traumatized asylum seekers to also receive therapy. Barbara Bleisch meets the renowned expert for a discussion.
