	OMHAS Trauma Policy
		The symptoms that are adaptations to the effects of psychological trauma are sometimes not recognized as associated with prior trauma by survivors or clinicians.
		Treatment programs designed specifically for survivors of childhood trauma are consistent on several points: the need for respect, information, connection, and hope for clients; the importance of recognizing the adaptive function of “symptoms”; and the need to work collaboratively in a person-directed and empowering way with survivors of abuse.
		When psychological trauma is not recognized or addressed, people may be unintentionally traumatized or re-traumatized by the agencies and providers trying to serve them.

		Kardiner (9) called the trauma response a "physioneurosis." He said that sufferers from PTSD remain in a state of physiological preparedness for the return of the trauma, which causes an enduring vigilance for and sensitivity to environmental threat.
