My blog is trauma-focused. Trauma
can fall in different categories and that looks different for the individual
who is facing any form of trauma. For example, my trauma would be sexual assault,
but someone else’s might be witnessing a murder of a loved one. Trauma is not a monolith
and that is why I will look at three different blogs that focus on different
types of trauma. The first blog that I will examine will be about childhood
trauma. This blog is geared towards adults who have suffered from childhood
trauma and developed PTSD and dissociative disorder. Next, I will look at a
blog that focuses on trauma of people who have experienced sexual assault. The
last blog I will talk about is a blog that focuses on domestic violence. To my readers,
even those this blog is more of a review this is still a triggering subject so
if at any point you feel triggered you can stop reading the post.
The first blog I would recommend to
anyone that suffers from childhood trauma, PTSD, and dissociative disorder. The
blog supports people who suffer from childhood trauma. If you have questions,
they do have a FAQ attached to their website. Some of the most common questions
are about what is complex post-traumatic stress disorder, what are the
different type of dissociative disorders? On the site, they list their mission, “We
are dedicated to providing survivors of childhood trauma with access to, and funding
for, therapeutic and inpatient care; while creating professional and public
awareness for Complex PTSD.” (Beauty After Bruises, 2019). The content of the
blog is about self-care, coping mechanism, and relating facts about this trauma.
The outline of the blog is a basic white background with elaborate writing and
design. The personality of the blog is very informal. The information provided in-depth information about their topics. I can tell that this blog is effective
enough to be share for people who have this form of trauma by the amount of
informal information listed. I would highly recommend this blog if you suffer
from childhood trauma. Here is the link for more information. https://www.beautyafterbruises.org/blog
The next blog that I will review is
a blog that is connected to a popular site, Psychology Today. The blog that I found
is answering the question, “how do you cope with sexual assault?” Because the blog
is connected to Psychology Today the outline and design would be the same as
Psychology Today. The website has a white background. The content is about how
a person who is dealing with sexual assault can understand the symptoms of sexual
assault and coping mechanism on how they can also learn to recover. The information
provided is also informal. So, the personality of the blog is more informal
than it is formal. Elyssa Barbash, the writer of the blog is a licensed psychologist
and mental health counselor. So, this also tells me that the blog is from a
professional who understands what she is talking about and that also proves the
effectiveness of the blog. This blog is very good to learn more information about
overcoming sexual assault. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/trauma-and-hope
The last blog that I discovered is
about people who have dealt with domestic violence. Ted is a popular site that
talks about a range of topics, including domestic violence. The layout and design
of the blog have a white background with normal font writing. They also provide five
videos about people who have experienced domestic violence. Each of those videos
have information about the speaker and this shows the effectiveness of the blog.
The people presented can be goggled and looked up. Their blog is both formal
and informal. The speakers tell us their story while offering sound advice. If
you want more information about domestic violence, I would highly recommend this
blog. https://blog.ted.com/5-brave-personal-stories-of-domestic-abuse/.
I liked each blog because of how informative
it is. Even the last one provided information about domestic violence. The
informal part makes me feel that each of these blogs are truly helpful to understand
what you’re going through and gives healthy information about some steps you
can take. This does not mean that every situation is the same but some general
information can be a step to your healing process.
