This video introduces Reboot’s neuro-metaphor of the 3 Brains as a lens through which to explore the impact of stress, trauma and unmet needs on young people’s development and daily actions. Simple, complex, transgenerational and collective trauma and related behaviours are explored. And the six key effects of complex trauma are discussed.
Module 1.1: Trauma, Stress and Disengagement
Collaborative Questions:
- Considering the young people you are currently working with, can you identify behaviours relating to chronic stress and/or unresolved childhood trauma?
- Do you work with young people experiencing complex, transgenerational and collective trauma? How might these impact a young person’s capacity to create positive change in behaviours?
- Using Reboot’s 3 Brains lens are you able to identify met and unmet needs in the young people you are working with?
- Have you ever encountered an adult with unmet Wild or Emotional Brain needs? (No names required). What behaviours or attitudes have they displayed?
