Trauma: From Lockerbie to 7/7: How trauma affects our minds and how we fight back

Product Information

Hostage International was founded as Hostage UK in 2004 by Sir Terry Waite KCMG CBE (former hostage in Beirut, 1987-1991) and Carlo Laurenzi OBE. Both recognised the gap in support provision for families and former hostages. They were soon joined by a handful of likeminded individuals, including Rachel Briggs OBE, who either had been personally affected by kidnapping or worked in kidnap and crisis management roles. Based in the UK, we became the go-to organisation for independent and open-ended support for families affected by a kidnap incident regardless of their nationality or place of residence. For example, if we look at the inability to be able to articulate feelings, even in somebody who has been a poet beforehand, somebody who has a special skill in being able to articulate their inner feelings to other people, the pathway, the artery that actually goes into the speech centre, which is in the left hand side of the brain in right handed people, in fact closes down. The reason for that, we are told by evolutionary psychologists, is that when confronted with a predator, human beings will in fact shut down, including the inability to be able to shriek, shout, shout for help, make any loud sound, because that would simply attract the predator to them, and it would also know they were alive. The FluteFling Collection will be available from mid July 2022 from www.flutefling.scot and in person. The story of the young man who saved the life of Robert the Bruce, called Will-o-Rull is well known; also how Robert the Bruce changed his name to Turn-E-Bull. This later evolved to the name "Turnbull".

We constantly strive to do the best for those we support and thank you to everyone who helps make our work possible. Please read our impact report, highlighting our work from April 2022 to March 2023: But this is not about me. Nobody got the help they needed. Nobody talked about mental health.

Propranolol (Inderal): Protocol in the treatment of PTSD - Professor Gordon Turnbull - Consultant Psychiatrist, team leader Post Trauma Support 1 st Gulf War POWs and Beirut Hostages. Gordon runs his own clinic in Brinkworth, Wiltshire and is a visiting Professor at Chester University. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Professor Gordon Turnbull is unable to present at this year's conference. It’s almost like the main players in the Middle East problems can only really resolve them if they are at the same point in their discovery of what they might do. If their imaginations all light up at the same time, and they can then communicate those ideas to each other, and it then actually spreads. But you can identify in many Israelis – many of the people who live there now are the descendants of people who were involved in the Holocaust of course. But if you take a group of people who are regularly traumatised, like police officers, or military people, they in fact see around them people who appear to be resilient, and unaffected by the trauma that they’ve been through as well, maybe the same trauma, so they feel inadequate because they’re not actually up to scratch. And they try to pretend that they’re not affected, which is one of the main reasons that military officers and police officers won’t come forward with their trauma, because it’s an acceptance within themselves that they have behaved differently. But the other hormone which controls the slowing down of the autonomic nervous system, and all the organs involved in its control, will actually prevent you from doing that. It makes you basically freeze and fold. So you actually play dead. If that’s the only that you can do, and you’re totally helpless to do otherwise, and you can’t fight and you can’t flee, and the tiger is still there, then the one thing you can do is to drop down onto the ground and play dead. Play possum if you like. That is the parasympathetic nervous system.

We employ about five people directly on the mussel farm, which might not seem a lot - but for a fragile rural community such as Mull, it is very significant indeed. Our farm is managed by Cameron Maclean, a local man who does an excellent job in ensuring the operation is run efficiently. Neil has published more than 160 scientific papers, book chapters and has presented to national and international audiences on matters concerning the psychological health of the UK Armed Forces, organisational management of traumatic stress and occupational mental health. He has been the Secretary of the European Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, is the President of the UK Psychological Trauma Society and the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ Lead for Military and Veterans Health. We know from the literature’s point of view, that transgenerational transmission of trauma is in fact very possible, and has been very studied. Rachel Yehuda is somebody to look up. She is a psychiatrist and researcher who actually was a neuroscientist before she became a psychiatrist. She’s been studying the effects of trauma on people who were holocaust survivors to being with. George Turnbull, born near Perth in Scotland, was dubbed "The first railway engineer of India", having been the Chief Engineer building some 500 miles of the first railway in the 1850s from Calcutta towards Delhi. Trauma is very, very, very common. Although the journals and the researchers tell us that it’s about 10% – in America it’s 10%, but of course in this country, where we make an issue out of denying things, the stiff upper lip and what have you is a very real thing, then we tend to put it down more like 1% per lifetime. 1% of people in a lifetime will actually suffer from a trauma reaction. But it’s much, much greater than that.

[5] He graduated in 1973 and subsequently joined the Royal Air Force. [1] Prominent cases [ edit ] When that gets into the brain circulation they both have different functions. The brain doesn’t want to forget the experience, because it wants to absorb it and process it for survival purposes, for the future, it wants to store up the energy. So the adrenaline in fact increases the adhesiveness of the memory, like an electrical circuit into the brain’s surface, on the right side of the brain if you’re right handed. So the memory is more deeply embedded, cut more deeply into the brain substance, so that you probably won’t forget it very easily. But the other hormone, the cortisol, actually has an effect. If it goes above a certain threshold level for more than a certain length of time, it actually burns into the hippocampus, the middle part of the hippocampus, which is a cable, and it actually kills cells in the hippocampus.
