Abstract

After trauma, people accomplish several stages of coping which require certain mental abilities: Fear, aggression, insight, grief, and hope. Traumas are usually coped with in a physiological sense. However, they may also lead to a trauma disorder if the coping is blocked at one or more stages. The stages of stress coping correspond to the metaphoric terms of TCM characterizing the five mento-psycho-somatic abilities acting together in forming a cycle of reaction. In addition to the therapies of post-trauma-disorders, as well as in order to prevent their arising after traumatic life events, non-verbal forms of therapy are suitable. The NADA protocol, devised in the 1980s by Michael Smith et al. in New York is also successful in the treatment of trauma patients. It represents a low-threshold, non-confrontative and non-verbal method of therapy.
