Longer term reactions can include emotional changes, flashbacks, changes in relationships or interactions, as well as physical symptoms such as headaches or nausea. PTSD , or post-traumatic stress disorder, is an anxiety problem that develops in some people after extremely traumatic events, such as combat, crime, an accident or natural disaster. After the pressure or emergency situation has passed the Stress Response is supposed to turn off so your body can rest. If your body is constantly in “fight of flight” mode it can wear your body down. If this continues for a long time it can have negative effects on your physical health and wellbeing. People with PTSD may relive the event via intrusive memories, flashbacks and nightmares; avoid anything that reminds them of the trauma; and have anxious feelings they didn’t have before that are so intense their lives are disrupted. Treatment for trauma can include trauma-focused or trauma-informed therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic therapies.

Fitness For Duty Companies today are continually faced with the challenge of evaluating and managing employees who may be physically or mentally impaired from any cause, including alcohol and drugs, that may adversely affect their ability to safely and competently perform their job duties. HOW IT WORKS What is Fitness for Duty Examination? Generally, a FFD referral arises when an employee exhibits some behavior that raises questions about his or her ability to appropriately perform their assigned duties. When an employee has been referred for a FFD evaluation, it is usually a requirement for continued employment. The Fitness for Duty examination is considered a medical exam which determines whether or not an individual is able to adequately perform their essential job duties according to the job description submitted by the employer. Typically, the examination requires a two-hour psychiatric assessment of the employee followed by psychological testing conducted by our staff psychologist. The examination includes review of background information, employer submitted records including employee job description, description of salient issues that led to the request for the examination, and mental status examination. The goal of the exam is to determine whether or not the employee has a condition that would reasonably lead to inability to perform essential job functions.

Severe stress can precipitate other trauma; as an example, it can precipitate a cardiac event. This is important, for many of these incidents trigger Workers’ Compensation and other claims. Violence in the Workplace Violence and harassment in the workplace are pervasive, and affect the health and productivity of both victims and their coworkers. Severe stress can precipitate other trauma; as an example, it can precipitate a cardiac event. This is important, for many of these incidents trigger Workers’ Compensation and other claims. HOW IT WORKS Violence and Harassment Attackers are more likely to be customers, while harassers are usually coworkers or bosses. FBI statistics report that customers are responsible for 44% of the violent behavior that businesses experience. Strangers trigger 24% of the incidents, with coworkers the source of 20%. While former employees get a great deal of attention when they return to the workplace and commit a violent act, they actually are responsible for only 3% of the incidents. Workers in small restaurants, convenience stores, teachers and taxi drivers all have a high incidence of assault perpetrated against them. The high degree of emotion generated by these events – we call it Critical Incident Stress – can last for a lengthy period of time, if not treated. It occurs when you leave the incident, but the incident doesn’t leave you. It stays with you. Any time another critical incident occurs, even if it is not at your workplace, it brings back the memories of prior events. Once an event has occurred there must be critical incident response. If acute stress is not treated quickly, post traumatic stress disorder can develop, and this is much harder to treat and much more costly. One of the key tools is Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, which has been proven to reduce the negative impact of trauma and as a result lower the incidence of claims through early intervention.

Bercun, Ph.D. Published in Bottom Line Secrets Boost Health and Well-Being with the "Brain" Inside your Heart When I tell you that emotional well-being begins in the heart, you probably think that I’m referring to the metaphorical repository of love. But in fact, I’m talking about the actual organ. Research in a fascinating branch of biofeedback shows that particular heart-rhythm patterns accompany different emotional states and send distinct signals to the brain. These, in turn, influence our emotions, nervous system activity and cognitive abilities, including memory and problem-solving. It now appears that the heart has its own intrinsic nervous system (nicknamed the “heart brain”) that independently senses and processes information. In fact, the heart sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart! I was intrigued to discover that a biofeedback technique called HeartMath, in which we learn to control our heart rhythms, can produce powerfully positive effects on the way we think and feel — so I invited psychologist and HeartMath practitioner Corey S. Bercun, PhD, founder and director of the Trauma and Stress Recovery Center in San Francisco, to share his knowledge with us. Who can be helped: Studies published in The American Journal of Cardiology and Integrative Physiological and Behavioral Science and elsewhere, plus case history data, show that this biofeedback technique can significantly improve health, psychological well-being and/or quality of life in people with… Psychological conditions, including anxiety, depression, panic disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder. Physical ailments, such as hypertension, chronic fatigue, chronic pain and insomnia How it works: Biofeedback consists of monitoring physiological activity — typically brain waves, breathing patterns and/or the skin’s electrical conductivity — with instruments that produce visual or auditory representations of the activity. With this feedback, patients learn which thoughts and breathing patterns enhance physiological rhythms… then they learn to reproduce these independent of the biofeedback device. HeartMath works basically the same way, Dr. Bercun explained, except that a device provides feedback on your heart rate variability (the naturally occurring variation in the time intervals between heartbeats). For instance… When you are anxious, angry, frustrated or in pain, your heart rhythm becomes erratic. Disorderly neural signals travel from the heart to the brain, triggering a cascade of biochemical changes that can inhibit clear thinking, deplete energy and produce extra wear and tear on the body. The HeartMath device depicts these erratic heart rhythms with angular, irregular marks on the graph that appears on the screen. When you feel positive emotions (appreciation, joy, love), your heart rhythm is ordered, stable and smooth. The accompanying signals from heart to brain facilitate cognitive function and allow the body’s systems to operate efficiently. The HeartMath device represents these heart patterns with smooth, wavelike lines on the graph. The goal: With training, you learn to consciously promote these favorable heart rhythms and, in turn, gain more control over your physical, mental and emotional state, Dr. Bercun told me. What to expect: Either of two biofeedback products can be used for HeartMath training — a software program installed on a computer or a stand-alone handheld device. A sensor clip attached to an earlobe or finger conveys information about heart rhythms to the device, which produces audio and/or visual feedback. The practitioner provides instruction on how to focus on positive experiences and emotions to produce beneficial shifts in heart rhythm. Unlike typical relaxation techniques, which create a low-energy state, the aim with HeartMath is to achieve a state that is calm and balanced, yet energized and responsive. Sessions typically last 30 to 45 minutes. The number of sessions needed depends on how quickly the techniques are mastered. “Often there can be dramatic results in the first session. In my own practice, I’ve seen blood pressure drop by as much as 25 points for the top number and 12 points for the bottom number,” Dr. Bercun said. Some insurance plans cover this therapy. To find a practitioner: Check www.HeartMathProviders.com. Home use: For maximum long-term benefits, especially when dealing with a chronic medical or psychological condition, Dr. Bercun recommended that professional training be followed up with home practice. Devices for home use: The emWave Desktop Stress Relief System computer software program with hardware costs about $300, has multiple graphic and audio options for representing heart rhythm, and can save session data and track your progress. The emWave Personal Stress Reliever, a $200 device about the size of an iPod, offers fewer features but is portable. These products can be used on your own without professional guidance, particularly if your goal is simply to reduce stress and enhance mental stamina. Product information: www.HeartMathStore.com.
