Restore the Trauma-Decimated Core – Essay II (of III) Continuing Phase Two of this Theoretical Example of SHOM’s Application

Or:

“How to End Politically Motivated Criminal Violence1At the beginnings of the twenty-first century, also called “terrorism.”

January-December, 2016

(Should you inadvertently stumble upon this text, I am working in this article at least through 2016. I’ve had to slow this effort in order to attend a family member’s health. The ETM TRT SHOM site provides formal clinical and management theory and instruction regarding SHOM’s prospective implementation by ETM TRT SHOM trained professionals.)

Introduction-Abstract

The central management competitive and hoped-for fix does NOT lie in attempting to convince through reasonable dialogue the intruding hosts to change their epistemologically ingrained reliance upon epiphany-initiating organizational doctrine.

They can fail the administrator, even go hysterical. That trauma affected entity, which can be comprised of either a person or group, may think it knows what it is doing, but at the same time actually not. Over extended assault the competence shortfall can worsen. Judgment can go bad. Following that, decision making, to both include and emphasize the will to act on one’s own behalf, to even protect the targeted’s life can also fail the user. Approach these deleterious influences Nosotropically((Try to just change individual and systemic thought/behavioral symptoms, to mean think and act better or as believed one is supposed to.  only, or for that matter primarily, and function not just superficially inefficient, but likely increasingly pathologically. That is as an indication of, and then during, the forming pathia, the entity operates against itself, and knows neither how it got that way, nor how to return to what’s right. Gaining momentum on this disintegrating slope, those helping methods/reactions always adamantly embraced and heretofore relied upon for maintaining managerial control can morph into a new pillar to the widening problem — become so entangled in and with the malady that instead of correcting or fixing it, the now trauma affected remedially rational- and Behavioral-based standards can become one of its integral and most supportive parts. Valuable, often even necessary to survival helping aids — for example, being coping-tough and emphasizing objectification during otherwise said to be the most challenging emotionally trying times — can over the ensuing longer term be turned against themselves, and actually hold the pathology together. It can even support the perpetrator opposition. In contrast, approach/address the same matter Etiotropically, with respect for survival strengths like courage, honor — protection of heart, the lives of others — dedication and determination to fight for life, strategically without becoming part and parcel the new problem remove trauma’s deleterious influences upon that damaged core. While reversing the trauma’s individual and systemic etiologies — strategically facilitating to completion their extinction activities — sidestep pathognomonic-enabling entanglements, diminish managerial hysteria, restore judgment, and strengthen ontological controls supporting decision making and will. Then, the once trauma affected person, group, local community, nation, polity or civilization can return to its best normal or otherwise pre-trauma functioning. So stabilized, strengthened, re founded — operating now with an Etiotropically restored core — the attacked entity can assiduously, if not wholeheartedly defend itself. Better yet, predator internal psycho-turmoil that fosters the trauma-causing exploitations in the first place will bear the brunt of those projections’ reversals; they will be turned back to fully impose upon where they belong: the offending psychology. That intervention is intended to intercede not just the more demonstrably projective psychopathic-like influences, referring to politically contrived/motivated expressions of violence upon innocents, but also intervene power initiated by, and then further gained over the duration of their applications, the projections’ original raisons d’être. They are and have always been since creation of the first poli-cult onsets, hegemonic doctrine, policy, and procedures religiously held together by behavioral conformance-based and thus perpetual ontology-restricting — no escape — death clauses. When applied in this sample application to Islamic terrorism, also according to doctrine, that organization must give up use of the (any) model, and in this particular instance heinous rape, murder and slaughter done for political effect, that doesn’t advance the interests of Islam.5See in The Al Qaeda Reader Zawahiri’s essays regarding effectiveness, thus usability of the non reformists’ fighting methods, in this instance referring to the application of terror.

Hypothetical SHOM Implementation

Here’s an example of what SHOM should look like after
full implementation for a quarter to half century.

Example Event

In a last attempt/trial to make the terrorism model work, an Offensive Trauma Manager (OTM) operating out of the Salafist doctrine — taken from the first three “rightly guided Caliphs” — initiating Islam, organizes and employs an attack upon a Western school. Through shooting and bomb explosions, children and teachers are maimed and killed, not unlike that which occurred in Beslan, Russia, 2004.

“Staying Alive” 

The just previously published SHOMbook essay,Staying Alive“, provides concept and some ideas regarding the behavioral/military and parallel applied defensive response required here. Although trauma individual and collective etiologies have already been established with maiming and death of the targets, attend to event survivors with ETM TRT SHOM and first responder crisis managers knowing that visceral action upon the origin of the OTM’s epistemological demographic is underway. When initially applied by a predator OTM, the heinousness of the event coupled with inconceivably fostered murder/slaughter of the best innocence of ourselves, our children and their safeguards (teachers), stifles our own sense of ongoingness: congruous continuity to and of life. Parts of our psychologies die with our beloved — most cherished.

Like a machinegunner who’s been immobilized during the current fight by similar battle slaughter, that which attends the deaths of combatant team members, the sending of speeding heavy and deadly metal back upon the attacking force reconstitutes that required sense of being alive, behaviorally6Combat is the best time for applying the Behavioral model: survival is provided rotely during otherwise stress producingly dangerous times. lifting the surviving members of the team above the incapacitating phase of shock that is always the precursor negotiated to complete loss’s, and particularly that which is catastrophic, resolution. Through rigorous fighting back the organism returns immediately — albeit this gunner’s trauma etiology will now be stored in the unconscious — to the otherwise very conscious experience of sustainability of itself, to include the systemic aspects of the entity taken as a whole. That is to mean, this sustenance will pass on to the civilizational entirety and support the contribution of the strategically structured and Etiotropically administered trauma management team now engaging the existentially calamitous elements of the attack presenting out of and from the carnage-saturated event site.

Parallel7To the “Staying Alive” response. Individual and Systemic Trauma Etiology Reversal 

At the same time of “Staying Alive’s” parallel implementation, initiate address of individual and systemic etiologies’ reversals. A most important phrase driving this effort: incrementally precise Etiotropic delineation and reversal of trauma etiologies, again, having both individual and systemic manifestations. 

So that we know where this SHOM essay is going, begin by Telling Us with some Practicability
what SHOM would Look Like when Fully Implemented; Use America’s Struggle
with Islamic Terrorism as the Sample Hypothetical.

 

                       Primary Strategic Goal of SHOM:
            make terrorism inefficacious, thus obsolete

Apply SHOM incrementally to trauma-decimated individual and systemic identity8“Identity” in SHOM has a special and precise definition which emphasizes aspects of it that are not given such attention by the either clinical or popular culture as a whole with the intent to restore that attacked core to its pre-traumatized standing9Also as described clinically within the Etiotropic Trauma Management  modality.. Aside from the personalized benefit that attends expunging trauma pain and restoration of the pre-trauma self, Etiotropic restoration of the individual and systemic core can 1) replenish individual and system will otherwise necessary for free/unimpaired/non-coerced decision making (unencumbered choice), and subsequently for counter-terrorism purposes 2) strategically preclude perpetrator control of targets through contrived applications of traumatic events — acts of terror. The primary goal and method of SHOM: make terrorism inefficacious, thus obsolete.”

“Strategic’s” Concept in SHOM

From facilitation of the most isolated manifestation of trauma etiology in a single member of a polity, to the address of a system’s trauma etiology encompassing the whole collective, “Strategic” is the distinguishing conceptual expression for Strategic Human Ontological Management (SHOM). Here are several of the expression’s meanings when applied through SHOM to organizational settings, management structure, operational activities, and etc.

Patient-or-Client; Therapy-or-Management

In clinical settings, SHOM’s specific identity-restoration device, TRT, is administered to patients within the context of whole patient psychological care. That is, within the treatment environment, TRT is integrated with other applications of therapy to achieve goals and objectives related to all presenting and even prospective clinical problems. Organizational trauma affecting individuals and the entire system is approached by SHOM differently. Administering TRT in organizational settings for the purpose of removing systemic trauma influences on organizational functionings10Removing the trauma affecting an individual member of the organization can simultaneously initiate removal of the trauma for the whole. restricts the focus of TRT’s administration to the more solitary task of removing the trauma’s etiology established in conjunction with — and as a direct consequence of — that organization’s activities. The address of trauma etiology resulting from implementation of organizational duties is not as much an individual responsibility as it is the employing entity’s.  

Therefore, application of TRT in an organizational setting, for example, in a combat or intelligence unit, could be considered a trauma management response as opposed to a therapy one. If, however, the address of the trauma affecting an individual from within an organization links to other clinical matters, and thereafter presents as the Most Pressing Trauma11Explanation, the person should be ethically referred to a parallel TRT coordinated resource, but only if that person wants the additional application. If engaged to address that additional source(s) of trauma, TRT would be conceptually changed to that of a therapy.

Strategic Etiotropic Core Restoration and Non Compatible (Not Interchangeable) Competing Clinical Methodologies.

Most importantly to the concept of Etiotropically administered strategic core restoration, “restore’ means to restart or rebuild the identity elements that specifically belonged to the affected entity or person; thus, they were endogenous12to have grown up with this entity’s development; as opposed to being surmised as the probable or norm for an entity existing within some configuration of third party’s therapist’s or manager’s notions about what ought to be housed within the identity found therein. to it. For clarification, that means, imperatively, to facilitate extinction’s completion of the affected values, beliefs, images, and other realities directly sundered by the event. To add meaning through contrasting example, DO NOT attempt to achieve this restoration through behavioral, cognitive behavioral, rational cognitive (didactically educational) means that would hope to satisfy restoration by a third party’s imposition, no matter how kindly and adroitly it is done, onto, into or upon that core’s state.

Moreover, and most importantly because of the clinical influences upon the era, preclude psychiatrically applied pharmacological therapies except where psychosis presents as a consequence of matters endemic to the biology — DON’T mix pharmacological psychotropic applications with ETM TRT SHOM’s methodology for restoring event-caused traumatized identity. If the presenting person is co-morbidly influenced by biologically-based mental illness like schizophrenia, TRT would likely not be applicable.

Strategic Incremental Delineation and Address of Trauma Etiology

A detailed set of supporting documentation for Etiotropically addressing most every kind of traumatic influence is provided in the informational and instruction publications attending TRT’s various applications13See ETM TRT SHOM Publications for details of TRT’s application under the “strategic restoration of the core meaning; and for a summary of these activities, see this SHOMBook series Appendix B: Trauma Etiology Correlated to Psychological Sequela and TRT’s Application.

Precise Identification and Reversal of Trauma Etiology Specific to this Event

Strategically Addressing Carnage and Death

Carnage embeds as its own traumatizing entity, but within an overall — more encompassing — event. The carnage, having its own etiology and behavioral-to-secondary etiology developing response, will then act as an impediment, blocking or otherwise interfering with access to the trauma etiology resulting from the whole of the event. For example, if combatants on patrol are ambushed, the event — constituting an incident/event within a given “source of trauma”14At the ETM TRT SHOM site, see sections “1.a and 1.b; ETM TRT SHOM First Structural Element – ETM Assessment and Strategy Assessment, Evaluation, and Strategy (treatment plan) for addressing Single and Multiple Sources of Trauma.” — will produce trauma etiology in the individual and systemic minds of those assaulted. The entire event would then serve as an element of a source of trauma to be strategically addressed with ETM and TRT. If there was no carnage occurring during the fight, then the event’s etiology-causing components can be effaced by expunging the attending damage to identity. However, if carnage to one or more of the combatants results (from the fight), it will form its own —- as if independent — etiology that must eventually be reversed if the etiologies occurring as a consequence of the attack as a whole are to be facilitated into completed extinction.

Address carnage non linearly; which means you may not go directly at its etiology without first establishing within the trauma-affected psych significant trust in the etiology reversal process: TRT. The non linear component of the exercise is required due to the attending paradox: it’s extra-difficult to establish the trust level within the attacked psych which is hosting carnage induced, and thus related to the additional and likely independent, etiology. Overcome this natural etiology-reversal dilemma15“Dilemma” is to mean extra-defended etiology requires not directly (strategically) approaching it on the one hand, but on the other eventually having to address it directly to reverse it. Worse, until that is achieved, reversing whole event/incident etiology is made less effective, in turn — circularly — making carnage’s address almost unapproachable. by going extra slowly and where possible working, if even less efficiently than otherwise would occur if the carnage’s etiology were not blocking the overall application’s reversal efforts. When the TRT administrator and the patient reach the level of trust required to address the carnage’s etiology, and they always will despite the referenced obstacle, TRT may, then, be applied to it directly.

During application of TRT to carnage, the details of the trauma-effecting disrupted/shattered biology and their influences upon the pre trauma psych/identity are delineated within the TRT four phases. The carnage etiologies can be carried out to the end of TRT, making it a category for Most Pressing Trauma, which has its own ETM rules adapted for this and similar presentations during TRT implementation.

Death in association with an incident or event and stored in memory as a trauma etiology can and does act similarly (as carnage). It should be addressed, then, the same.  

Prioritizing ETM TRT SHOM Ethics 

Standardized in TRT’s application, ethics predominate. In all but instances where a perpetrator is the cause of trauma, TRT is administered only for individual trauma etiology reversal and not for either individual or systemic intervention on behavior, no matter that the latter will likely or only may be a consequence. Where perps for politics cause the trauma, the individual etiology reversal TRT must — can — only be facilitated, not ordered, and with rational cognitive (didactic educational) explanations of all clinical and management interests and prospective influences/benefits.

SHOM Perpetrator Intervention Theory Summary

Perpetrator terrorists coexists with targeted victims in a continuous pathology whose locus is hosted as individual and system trauma etiology in the attacked polity’s core. Removing the pathy Etiotropically doesn’t just restore the core, but it intercedes on the perpetrator’s belief in the application of violence to achieve political ends, rendering that tactic obsolete.


  The following section has been published as Appendix F to the entire SHOMBook.

SHOM Epistemology-to-Method regarding Traumatized Collective/Individual Cores, their Etiotropic Restorations, and as they Interface or Not with Competing/Clashing/Differing Counter Perspectives

Speaking epistem-/method-ologically, which focus directs problem solving to the heart of Western-styled decision making, SHOM, albeit integratable with the following management modalities depending on timeliness of application,  is also at times irreconcilably differently principled from the same. Those modalities include behavioral management16See Behaviorally-oriented management., spiritual conversion17Since history has been recorded or studied, spiritual conversion — from a thought model perspective — has supplied the preponderance of human effort to understand and remedy trauma’s both etiological and symptomatic effects. ETM TRT SHOM recognizes those thought models’ contribution to the psych during efforts to complete identity-extinction activities following traumatic episodes. Moreover, and as a disclaimer, ETM TRT SHOM engineering does not interfere with the constitution of the spiritual belief and coping model., general analytical18e.g., Freud to Adler to Frankl., and non-strategic Person Centered19See general Client Centered also called Rogerian therapies — generalized identification and expression of feelings, and etc. efforts — in some of those cases pharmacologically laced with street20Alcohol, marijuana and other illegal drugs. or professionally ordered medications — otherwise created, respectively, over the millennia21Beginning at least in the fourth century BCE. For background delineating the SHOM perspective, see “How SHOM Interacts with Behaviorally-Oriented Management, and How it Doesn’t,” “Part IV: Westbury Rebel Management of Really Serious Troublemakers in (and from) the Global.” “Appendix A: The Genghis Khan of Psychotherapy: Behavioral Therapy and its Reformation – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and for Behavioral to Systems emphasis “Part III (conclusion) The Good Rebel in Most of us; Distinguishing Good from Bad Rebels; and How to strengthen the former against the latter.” by Western civilization’s managements to address the same subjects. They are trauma’s effects on, and thereafter attempt to control, exploit, mitigate, or in the Etiotropic application extirpate etiology from, any entity’s core. And, not wanting to appear only impolitic when demonstrating those differences, I wrote this summary to assuage some22Albeit, SHOM Etiotropic system theory may also create a new ideological competition. of the polemic naturally attending discussions like this one.

When addressing a traumatized system, particularly one going hysterical23From the ETM TRT SHOM Glossary. “Within ETM TRT SHOM parlance, ‘hysterical’ refers to the creation or adaptation of a continuum of interrelated abstractions (e.g., philosophies or other like attempts to answer ‘Why’ the imposed change — extinction — is occurring.) that are hosted cerebrally and/or in the cortex, and that are intended to assuage actual and prospective trauma-affected discordance in functioning in compliance with the — as different from the location of trauma induced extinction of stored pre trauma elements of identity — narrative/directive/doctrine otherwise previously guiding the targeted/attacked entity’s ongoing status: i.e., experience of state of continuity. The conscious adaptations may be temporarily beneficial as apparently much needed healing coping mechanisms, and at the same time paradoxically destructive as blockers of extinction’s completion. In this use, ‘hysterical’ doesn’t have to be represented by ostensible loss of management control, which in easily recognizable action attends the culminating manifestation, but can be instead at the beginnings of its development the simple adaptation of cliche or the formation of original thought, philosophical in nature, but that always defends the psychology during survival from the onslaught of change to one’s, to include where applicable a group’s, psycho-basics. I’ve used this consolidating-of-clinical/management-descriptions approach because, as all TRT clinicians/managers inevitably see, the continuum for the beginnings-to-ending of hysteria occur synonymously with the pertinent professions’ ordained culprits of final dissolution: lower level-to-moderate-to-massive denial, confusion-to-disordered-to-chaos of thought, contradiction-to-undermining of conscience, initial shock-to-diminished performance-to-full erosion of the capacity to carry on. They all come from the same start up — intellectual adjustment reaction to trauma etiology — attempts from the first interrogatory to restore the trauma decimated core with loftier philosophical visions promising new, but eventually faux hope: ‘That the extinction is not occurring.'”, or even reaching near mob-/cult-like or other social perpetrator status, why start with the least complex expression, referring here to a system member’s (single individual’s) core?

  1. From a practical perspective, because:
    1. and beginning with the obvious, when going at a traumatized system’s collectively experienced, albeit cognitive identification-restricted trauma etiology and more ubiquitously expressed symptoms head on, some form of catastrophe, e.g., a war or other organized use of force, is required (or at least has often occurred) to intervene on the latter’s almost always accelerating and probably additional pain-inducing presentations. Hence, begin the restorative focus incrementally — with an individual.
    2. restored individual cores act as system stabilizing pylons in an otherwise masses-developing rough sea hallmarked by a) increasing fragmentation, if not disintegration, of otherwise once system-binding rules, b) paper thin fragility of confidence of self — no wonder as the preponderance of decimation24“Decimation” is used purposely for emphasis to asseverate that the nature of molecular extinction shows that long-term depression of the synaptic trace housing the pre trauma reality/core/existential elements of identity retains a segment, albeit small of the once and also long-term potentiated molecular storage. See Neurobiology of Psychological Trauma Etiology and Its Reversal with Etiotropic Trauma Management. resides primarily in the unconscious — and c) behaviorally experienced, i.e., presenting for third party observation, as a lack of order: chaos.
    3. while stabilizing a system’s core, system trauma symptoms will attempt to derail or otherwise weaken stabilizing activity; but at the same time, system trauma etiology will gravitate toward the restorative effort on-going in the individual etiology reversal processes. Albeit engaged in a challenging tug-of-war for supremacy of direction, the individual core restorations will likely promote the same recovery for the system whole, assuming SHOM implementation directions are mostly, say as opposed to somewhat, followed.
    4. caring for an individual shattered mind brings a higher percentage of that power’s (caring’s) recuperative energy to bear exactly where most needed, maximizing its efficacy as a helping modality, and as opposed to addressing the disillusion of the same simultaneously in multiple minds (and) with nothing more than the didactically selling to them of trauma replacing abstractions: rhetorically or even declaratively presenting, then mollifying big or at least differing philosophical pictures of one’s substance or no, and circumstance.
  2. From a theoretical25Which is borne out in practice: see Professional Due Diligence for the First Secular Cure of Psychological Trauma – PTSD. perspective . . .
    1. when both individual and systemic core elements have been trauma clobbered, individual restoration supports eventual, if not inevitable system core restoration — continuing to presume, of course, that ETM TRT SHOM is administered in compliance with its directions.  
    2. reversal of individual and systemic trauma etiology is attended by a system of logic that once initiated, called upon or otherwise tapped into, brings all pertinent elements of human ontology congruently to bear upon completing trauma induced extinction of the pre trauma existential elements of both individual and systemic identities — respectively, psychological trauma’s intrapsychic and interactional locuses of etiology.
    3. deeper — some having, prior to restoration, interwoven their locus into unknown labyrinths of the unconscious — Etiotropically restored elements of identity strengthen individual entities against the mob’s or trauma controlled system’s consciously hysterical influences, culminating in a reversal of their most prodigious tool for advancing their pathological expansions. It is the shared projection of systemic trauma etiology applied symptomatically/behaviorally to others for the purpose of avoiding that pain which traditionally attends extinction of existential elements of identity: the experience of continuity/ongoingness which in comprising the human core, also holds it together.
    4. Restoring individual and system cores restores unfettered individual and systemic decision making to pre trauma ontological status; albeit thereafter strengthened with ETM TRT SHOM’s existentially-oriented-model-for-addressing/resolving-loss which is now incorporated into the post trauma restored more complete, that is, to include being steeped into the unconscious, psychology. The trauma’s effects on the individual or system are reversed, expunged, or removed, in the process neutralizing externally applied, thus invasive, controls attending trauma applied by perps for political effect.

Retardantly Entangling, if not Destructively Conflicting Secular-based Management Paradigms/Methods — “Cope versus Cure”26Readers already trained in ETM TRT SHOM will understand the importance of the differences and arguments regarding coping or curing psychological trauma. For those not familiar with the discussion, and particularly the various and opposing views, see ETM TRT SHOM site explanations at “Cope and Cure,” “In ETM’s Lexicon, Cure means . . .”, “Focused Care- and Cure-Based.”

Material difference exists between expected likely strategic outcomes — referring to winning or losing the combatized contest — produced by one secular-based trauma management approach over another: Etiotropic (i.e., the “cure” approach)27For your convenience again linking to our definitions of “curing” vs. “coping with” psychological trauma, see ETM TRT SHOM site explanations at “Cope and Cure,” “In ETM’s Lexicon, Cure means . . .”, “Focused Care- and Cure-Based.” vs Nosotropic (the coping method)28For your convenience again linking to our definitions of “curing” vs. “coping with” psychological trauma, see ETM TRT SHOM site explanations at “Cope and Cure,” “In ETM’s Lexicon, Cure means . . .”, “Focused Care- and Cure-Based.”. In the former, the strategic outcome is affirmatively linked through expectation that the intervention applied through the target and then on to the perpetrator succeed and that as a direct consequence of that effort the motivation for the use of terror dissipates. In the latter, there is no linkage because the method doesn’t support even prospective, to mean theoretical or otherwise, intervention. Post trauma, targets are treated humanely and thereafter separated within, if not completely from the combatants’ arena, except for the hope that the perpetrator-admonishing/-punishing strategy will impart a sense of justice derived by the action-/force-oriented defensive response-based remedy.    

The Etiotropic or psychological trauma “curing”29See ETM TRT SHOM site explanations at “Cope and Cure,” “In ETM’s Lexicon, Cure means . . .”, “Focused Care- and Cure-Based.” idea supports the notion that if its secularly foundationed trauma management response* is properly administered, perpetrators will lose both the essence of the value of their modality and subsequently the war where it is being applied. For example, if the Etiotropic approach is applied to survivors of a terrorist attack, then the entity providing that response expects eventually to actively first intercede future applications of the same, and second remove the terrorists’ beliefs in the validity of their approach. Looking to history for an application that wasn’t, had democratic (Menshevik) to Czarist leadership applied the Etiotropic approach to counter the Bolshevik’s use of terror between 1905-1907, and then later through the beginnings of their revolution and civil war in Russia, the destabilizing effect on polity decision making could have, hypothetically, been avoided, likely changing the course of that nation’s and the world’s history for the rest of that century. On the other hand, when the Nosotropic or coping approach to trauma is applied by the targeted’s management — as occurred in the twentieth century Bolshevism reference and is now being duplicated today by the West’s response to anti-Islamic-reform forces; which are pulverizing the part of the global targeted for their conquerings — there is neither theoretical nor (consequently  to mean “thus”) practical linkage between the trauma response application and the prospects for the enemy’s continued use of their fighting model. Hence, if a polity decides to employ the prospective, or hoped for direct intercession method on the perpetrator’s motivation to use the terror modality, it serves that polity well to distinguish between its application and the one not engineered to achieve the desired intervening-on-terrorism-operations outcome.

If aspiring to achieve the counter-terrorism-perpetrator-intervention effect theoretically inherent to SHOM, it isn’t enough to respond to such politically motivated acts of terror by administering general counseling or pharmacological therapies without distinguishing between the cope or cure approaches, and then employing the latter pretty much exclusive of the former. For example, trying to achieve etiology reversal while simultaneously coping with medication of trauma-caused HAPA30hypothalamic-to-adrenal-pituitary-axis, also called “stress response” activity will absolutely31For a fairly in-depth or at least more detailed address of the relationship of the HAPA stress response to trauma etiology’s formation and reversal, see Neurobiology of Psychological Trauma Etiology and Its Reversal with Etiotropic Trauma Management; 1991; Jesse W. Collins II; electronic, but not PDF, version. preclude the use of the Etiotropically engineered cure approach to support trauma induced extinction’s completion. Similarly, direct Behavioral attempts to control post traumatic symptoms alter the focus of clinical and management effort from that extinction’s facilitation such that it will likely — most assuredly from this work’s experience — never happen. No completion of extinction means no etiology reversal; and that means continued perpetrator control of targets’ decision making regardless of higher ended, i.e. the most resolute, rational cognitive applications of also most stalwart character.

*Non Secular-based Trauma Management Models’ Differences (from SHOM)

In four decades, I’ve not witnessed a single instance where ETM TRT’s application altered or otherwise interfered with an individual’s parallel use of a non secular theology. ETM TRT SHOM may, or can likely, however, intercede systemic trauma’s influences that are foundationally cultic, or cause the same over time. 

Hinduism, Paganism, Judaism, Stoicism, Buddhism, Islamism, Church of Rome (first millennium European Christianity), Pre Reformation (to include medieval thru ending fifteenth century) Christian (and even non) Humanism, and Post Reformation both Catholic and Protestant developments and theologies have shared commonalities and distinctions over their histories as they were applied to a polity’s or other constituents’ individual and systemic trauma management epistemologies’, strategies, activities and methodologies. Generally said, and still even now following secular-oriented Enlightenment influences occurring over more recent nineteenth, twentieth, and beginning twenty-first centuries, that element of human ontology hosting the Hebraic, other Oriental, or Hellenic interpretations of the soul as it has interacted with psychological trauma, has been the management purview of the referenced and other theologies. And, they have produced over the also hosting millennia methods that will likely function discordantly from SHOM’s administration, unless the app is adapted to address the prospective clashes.

Here are several of the most important elements of the primary principles of those “adaptations.”

  1. During implementation, ETM TRT SHOM does not engage in debate or competing rational cognitive instruction regarding the various theological tenets. The management administrative focus directs the reversal process to achieve limited goals: reversing/removing/expunging individual and systemic trauma etiology purposefully implanted by perps to effect political change within the targeted polity.
  2. Not for purposes of persuasion, solicitation, or gaining ideological ascendency, rational cognitive interpretations of the differences between ETM TRT SHOM and the hosting theology can be provided, but only with the intent to clarify for the application patient/client inquiries pertaining to prospective clashes that may be felt* as implementation begins to be experienced.
    *Trauma etiology is held together not just with intrapsychic elements of the overall psychology, but with systemic one’s as well. That is, a group’s theo-narrative adapted to advance the person’s interests into the hereafter, give comfort during current hard times, and to even exploit the trauma by strengthening individual allegiance to that narrative and its organizational parent, may experience the prospective resolution/reversal of the etiology (that relied upon the abstract-oriented theological tenet) may vie for expression in a defensive manner that quashes the etiology’s reversal. Emotion stemming from etiology is also connected to the — apparently ecclesiastical doctrine — abstractions that defend against feeling it. And those abstractions become vested in maintaining that defended status quo. TRT clinicians are trained to not push the conflict. Facilitate the individual’s withdrawal from ETM’s strategic approach to etiology reversal if necessary, keeping the coping elements of the theology intact. That person will then process the decision over time, and take the risk of etiology reversal based upon his or her individual character, ontological configuration, and intellectual determination of what is best for the entity, i.e., him or her self, as a whole.
  3. ETM TRT SHOM Patient and Professional education32See the ETM TRT SHOM Patient Education Program. Informational and instructional aids facilitate decision making at every step of clinical experience. integrates its Etiotropic understanding of clinical process in incremental concert with client inquiry, decision making and progress. Defenses against etiology’s reversal, regardless of whether they or primarily secular or non secularly constructed, are respected as to their pertinence to the client.
  4. One element of non secular models incorporates curatively in the trauma affected psychology as opposed to intellectually protectively/defensively. The trauma affected psychological host relationally accepts into (conceptually creates for) its damaged core something attending deity level supra personages and Gods. Sample icons studied, now understood and referenced in the West include, and certainly have not been limited to Buddha, Yahweh, Jesus, The Messenger, and the Nordic, Odin. A commonality of the incorporation is epiphany — the experience of oneness in relation to the evolved spiritual agonist. And, its supra state fuses with the damaged elements of the core, therein and after assuaging the condition or otherwise ridding it from the host — in the process mostly existing of forgiveness of the pain and all associated with it — lifting the replenished state of being above the once shattered self. Depending upon pertinent doctrines, remedies that perpetuate the epiphanological startup are equally ontologically, to emphasize existentially focused with prayer, meditation, confession, penance, sacrifice, Communion, love of others and doing good works. Some from within that condition are not candidates for TRT — differing addresses of human ontology would be being administered at the time. When the referenced experience, however, presents as, say for example, something that one is supposed to feel — in order to maintain status as a bona fide member of a particular program, or because other members tell them how to do it, i.e., to forgive all involved — but doesn’t, the effort to comply with the referenced remedies supported by the doctrine may itself become an overwhelmingly difficult defense to overcome, in the end rigidly protecting against the Etiotropic address of the related core’s damage, instead of curing it. That remaining etiology may be reversed with TRT as described in the first three elements of these four application principles.

Synthesizing/summarizing and extrapolating from the immediately above (1-4), the goals betwixt the two approaches, non secular and SHOM, are demonstrably different. The former’s primary interest is the hereafter, and the latter’s herein. The trauma affected entity in the non secular model receives a complete overhaul of all things now being revamped to emulate the program’s leadership and the preparatory path to the fulfilling eternal ideal. In contrast, SHOM strategically (only) restores the entity’s existential identity elements — its core — to its pre trauma existence, leaving those matters regarding any afterlife activity to the non seculars. Even with that fairly ostensible delineation, not much stops the non secular approach convoluting its “how-tos” with SHOM’s. As a matter of posturing policy for the ETM TRT SHOM individual implementation in parallel with most non secular helping models, let the differences be: different. In keeping with the likelihood that non secular ontologically-focused programs will probably attempt to quash ETM TRT SHOM’s resolution efforts — the competitor’s epistemological and methodological biases require that it become and remain all things to all followers — don’t interfere with client theology except, of course, where Western civ law requires intervention in order to prevent death and other personal harm.

Three Principles regarding Conflicts/Clashes between Etiotropic and Nosotropic General Doctrinal — to include Methodological — Differences

Having spoken previously in this part of the essay to specific differences between Etiotropic and Nosotropic approaches to trauma management and its clinical parallels also distinguished by secular and non secular concepts, the subject would not be complete without consideration of general epistemological and methodological differences. Three predominate this discussion. Here is their overview.    

  1. If trauma etiology and its reversal/removal/extirpation are NOT the remedy’s both clinical and management primary (first) focus, and the entire treatment/management milieu extending therefrom, systemic symptoms (or also traumatized mob/group behavioral influences), to include perceptions of problem presentation, then the consequent and always prevalent hysteria garnish the helping effort’s attention, which in turn, circuitously, will interfere with individual etiology reversal. The traumatic condition remains in an incurable-looking loop of downwardly spiraling destruction, maybe offset from time to time by temporarily effective behavioral or pharmacological coping applications.
  2. Where Nosotropic trauma management relies for its success upon strengthening or otherwise developing client awareness, the Etiotropic method emphasizes focusing caring upon the trauma affected entity in a manner that reverses etiology — completes extinction — regardless of additions incorporated through cognition. Much of extinction and its Etiotropic facilitation occur in the unconscious and depend upon the skilled application of focused caring by the helper more than cognizant application (teaching/preaching about) of conscious decision making and personal responsibility growth by the patient/client.
  3. Medicating33Referring to both social drug — alcohol, marijuana, prescription psychotropics, other use stress from trauma can strengthen additional psych-trauma symptoms for the long-term and will no doubt prevent etiology reversal. Applying TRT in concert with such use34See TRT’s application module regarding screening for exogenous variables. is not effective. Moreover, although TRT’s administration requires a non toxic CNS, no aspect of ETM TRT SHOM’s clear CNS policy, except where dependency has been established, extends past the TRT application period. Importantly, rather than detox prescription medicated clients for application of TRT, do not administer it and refer them back into the Nosotropic treatment paradigm that initiated that care.

Those overviews, of course, leave off administration details, which are carefully incorporated into ETM TRT SHOM’s implementation information and instruction support materials. They are addressed in the courses of study provided through the ETM TRT SHOM Professional website located here35See the ETM TRT SHOM website. and directly to ETM TRT SHOM publications provided here36Go directly to the ETM TRT SHOM Publications where Professional and Patient Education pamphlets and books are available both electronically and in hard copy..

Method Outline : Quick View 

  1. Address the enemy’s psychological damage done to our core by:
    1. identifying that destructive influence simultaneously upon entity management and polity
    2. reversing it
    3. restoring the original core within and into the current reality
    4. interceding the enemy’s core-targeting methods
    5. engineering and establishing an ongoing core protectorate
    6. offset manipulative incoming demands with outgoing demands for cult quid pro quo/reciprocation; for example, for every Wahhabi-Qatar-funded mosque established in the West, the OIC has to allow a Baptist, Episcopalian, Methodist, Charismatic, or Catholic Church, a synagogue and a friendly Buddha pagoda next door placed in country; and maybe even allow some Hindi-responsive sacred cows to wander through pastures and attend watering holes

Notes   [ + ]

1. At the beginnings of the twenty-first century, also called “terrorism.”
2. To mean systemic/cultural influences gone hysterically tribal. (i.e., murdering the non compliant unnecessarily, to also mean having no purpose other than to hold the cultic pathology together.)
3. Being placed into extinction by the invasives.
4. Synaptic unlearning)), traditional intellectually-based, sometimes to mean rational cognitive, consciously abstract, linear or logically reasoned-based management controls are made vulnerable. They can fail the administrator, even go hysterical. That trauma affected entity, which can be comprised of either a person or group, may think it knows what it is doing, but at the same time actually not. Over extended assault the competence shortfall can worsen. Judgment can go bad. Following that, decision making, to both include and emphasize the will to act on one’s own behalf, to even protect the targeted’s life can also fail the user. Approach these deleterious influences Nosotropically((Try to just change individual and systemic thought/behavioral symptoms, to mean think and act better or as believed one is supposed to.
5. See in The Al Qaeda Reader Zawahiri’s essays regarding effectiveness, thus usability of the non reformists’ fighting methods, in this instance referring to the application of terror.
6. Combat is the best time for applying the Behavioral model: survival is provided rotely during otherwise stress producingly dangerous times.
7. To the “Staying Alive” response.
8. “Identity” in SHOM has a special and precise definition which emphasizes aspects of it that are not given such attention by the either clinical or popular culture as a whole
9. Also as described clinically within the Etiotropic Trauma Management  modality.
10. Removing the trauma affecting an individual member of the organization can simultaneously initiate removal of the trauma for the whole.
11. Explanation
12. to have grown up with this entity’s development; as opposed to being surmised as the probable or norm for an entity existing within some configuration of third party’s therapist’s or manager’s notions about what ought to be housed within the identity found therein.
13. See ETM TRT SHOM Publications for details of TRT’s application under the “strategic restoration of the core meaning; and for a summary of these activities, see this SHOMBook series Appendix B: Trauma Etiology Correlated to Psychological Sequela and TRT’s Application
14. At the ETM TRT SHOM site, see sections “1.a and 1.b; ETM TRT SHOM First Structural Element – ETM Assessment and Strategy Assessment, Evaluation, and Strategy (treatment plan) for addressing Single and Multiple Sources of Trauma.”
15. “Dilemma” is to mean extra-defended etiology requires not directly (strategically) approaching it on the one hand, but on the other eventually having to address it directly to reverse it. Worse, until that is achieved, reversing whole event/incident etiology is made less effective, in turn — circularly — making carnage’s address almost unapproachable.
16. See Behaviorally-oriented management.
17. Since history has been recorded or studied, spiritual conversion — from a thought model perspective — has supplied the preponderance of human effort to understand and remedy trauma’s both etiological and symptomatic effects. ETM TRT SHOM recognizes those thought models’ contribution to the psych during efforts to complete identity-extinction activities following traumatic episodes. Moreover, and as a disclaimer, ETM TRT SHOM engineering does not interfere with the constitution of the spiritual belief and coping model.
18. e.g., Freud to Adler to Frankl.
19. See general Client Centered also called Rogerian therapies — generalized identification and expression of feelings, and etc.
20. Alcohol, marijuana and other illegal drugs.
21. Beginning at least in the fourth century BCE. For background delineating the SHOM perspective, see “How SHOM Interacts with Behaviorally-Oriented Management, and How it Doesn’t,” “Part IV: Westbury Rebel Management of Really Serious Troublemakers in (and from) the Global.” “Appendix A: The Genghis Khan of Psychotherapy: Behavioral Therapy and its Reformation – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and for Behavioral to Systems emphasis “Part III (conclusion) The Good Rebel in Most of us; Distinguishing Good from Bad Rebels; and How to strengthen the former against the latter.”
22. Albeit, SHOM Etiotropic system theory may also create a new ideological competition.
23. From the ETM TRT SHOM Glossary. “Within ETM TRT SHOM parlance, ‘hysterical’ refers to the creation or adaptation of a continuum of interrelated abstractions (e.g., philosophies or other like attempts to answer ‘Why’ the imposed change — extinction — is occurring.) that are hosted cerebrally and/or in the cortex, and that are intended to assuage actual and prospective trauma-affected discordance in functioning in compliance with the — as different from the location of trauma induced extinction of stored pre trauma elements of identity — narrative/directive/doctrine otherwise previously guiding the targeted/attacked entity’s ongoing status: i.e., experience of state of continuity. The conscious adaptations may be temporarily beneficial as apparently much needed healing coping mechanisms, and at the same time paradoxically destructive as blockers of extinction’s completion. In this use, ‘hysterical’ doesn’t have to be represented by ostensible loss of management control, which in easily recognizable action attends the culminating manifestation, but can be instead at the beginnings of its development the simple adaptation of cliche or the formation of original thought, philosophical in nature, but that always defends the psychology during survival from the onslaught of change to one’s, to include where applicable a group’s, psycho-basics. I’ve used this consolidating-of-clinical/management-descriptions approach because, as all TRT clinicians/managers inevitably see, the continuum for the beginnings-to-ending of hysteria occur synonymously with the pertinent professions’ ordained culprits of final dissolution: lower level-to-moderate-to-massive denial, confusion-to-disordered-to-chaos of thought, contradiction-to-undermining of conscience, initial shock-to-diminished performance-to-full erosion of the capacity to carry on. They all come from the same start up — intellectual adjustment reaction to trauma etiology — attempts from the first interrogatory to restore the trauma decimated core with loftier philosophical visions promising new, but eventually faux hope: ‘That the extinction is not occurring.'”
24. “Decimation” is used purposely for emphasis to asseverate that the nature of molecular extinction shows that long-term depression of the synaptic trace housing the pre trauma reality/core/existential elements of identity retains a segment, albeit small of the once and also long-term potentiated molecular storage. See Neurobiology of Psychological Trauma Etiology and Its Reversal with Etiotropic Trauma Management.
25. Which is borne out in practice: see Professional Due Diligence for the First Secular Cure of Psychological Trauma – PTSD.
26. Readers already trained in ETM TRT SHOM will understand the importance of the differences and arguments regarding coping or curing psychological trauma. For those not familiar with the discussion, and particularly the various and opposing views, see ETM TRT SHOM site explanations at “Cope and Cure,” “In ETM’s Lexicon, Cure means . . .”, “Focused Care- and Cure-Based.”
