Trauma and Shame Related Issues and Resources

These resources and drafts are provided for students and attendees of presentations by Walter Teague, LCSW-C on the subjects of Trauma, Shame and the particular condition called Childhood Post Traumatic Shame (CPTS).

The term CPTS has been suggested by Walter Teague in 2013 to add to the understanding of shame both healthy and toxic in humans.

I had hopped to add to and improve these documents, but other priorities took over. I do encourage feedback about the possible value to the treatment and prevention of trauma to children and whole populations.

Additional concerns are the endemic traumas of devastated nations and populations.

And today June 20, 2018 we are seeing a horrible example of grievous and unnecessary tramatization of thousands of children, many just infants. Sadly, without quick reunions with their families, their traumas will turn into the toxic and virtually incurable froms of CPTS.

These reference materials are for study and research purposes only. I ask that you do not reproduce in quantity without authors' permission.

My materials are indicated and at this time all are in draft form, therefore I ask that before you circulate you return for the latest copy and if possible contact me beforehand. I am making these materials available first for students and clinicians concerned with better understanding, treatment and where possible prevention of traumas particularly to the vulnerable and children.

The items not yet linked, will be posted as soon as possible. I welcome suggestions.

Additional documents on related issues added after the presentation above.
