traumafókuszú

Traumafókuszú is a Hungarian concept that roughly translates to "trauma-focused" or "trauma-centered." It refers to an approach in psychology and social work that prioritizes addressing past traumatic experiences as a crucial aspect of treatment and healing.

In the context of trauma-informed care, traumafókuszú emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and working through traumatic memories and emotions. This approach recognizes that traumatic experiences can have a profound impact on an individual's mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.

Traumafókuszú acknowledges that trauma can be caused by various factors, including interpersonal violence, natural disasters, accidents, and systemic injustices. It also recognizes that individuals may process and respond to trauma in different ways, such as dissociation, avoidance, or anger.

In practice, traumafókuszú involves creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing their experiences and emotions. This may involve the use of evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or trauma-focused CBT, as well as expressive arts and other creative interventions.

The goal of traumafókuszú is to help individuals develop a greater sense of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-compassion. By acknowledging and processing traumatic experiences, individuals may experience improved emotional regulation, reduced symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and enhanced overall well-being.

Traumafókuszú is not a distinct therapeutic modality but rather a philosophical approach to working with individuals who have experienced trauma. It is informed by various research domains, including psychology, sociology, and women's studies.
