Secondary title:	Experiencing and coping with psychological trauma
Secondary abstract:	The emphasis of this diploma thesis is on experiencing and coping with posttraumatic stress disorder. Psychological trauma can do a lot of harm to a person and can have physiological, emotional, cognitive and behavioral effects. If traumatic event is too intense, it can lead to a posttraumatic stress disorder which can have negative impact on every aspect of person's life. Therefore it is crucial that they search for help and start a new life. The aim of this diploma thesis is to present and to research on posttraumatic stress disorder through findings from experts who work with people with posttraumatic stress disorder. I have used a qualitative research method with interview technique. I have gathered my results through interviews with three experts of different proffesions who work as psychotherapists. The analysis of results shows that people with posttraumatic stress disorder often have health problems and experience fear, anger, guilt and have trust issues. It is common that they have irational beliefs about themselves and about others. It is also common that they become involved in high-risk behaviours such as self-harm behavior, eating disorders and alcohol abuse. They come from dysfunctional families and as a result they develop feeling of unworthiness and sense of unbelongingness. Because they have fear of intimacy, they often isolate themselves. While strong resilience factors are social support and loving family, childhood trauma is a strong vulnerability factor. Good-quality therapeutic relationship helps them the most in therapy. They can help themselves by doing relaxation exercises and focusing on the present. Experts notice posttraumatic growth in people with posttraumatic stress disorder which refers to a new quality of life, accepting life as it is and changes in values. Posttraumatic stress disorder is very complex and it helps to understand several other trauma consequences. It gives notice that those types of behavior which people generally see in a negative light are actually a cry for help.

Abstract (ePrints):	Poudarek diplomskega dela je na doživljanju in spoprijemanju oseb s posttravmatsko stresno motnjo. Psihična travma lahko močno prizadene posameznika in pusti fiziološke, emocionalne, kognitivne in vedenjske posledice. Če je travmatični dogodek psihično preobremenilen, oseba lahko razvije posttravmatsko stresno motnjo, ki negativno vpliva na vsa življenjska področja. Zato je ključno, da osebe s posttravmatsko stresno motnjo poiščejo pomoč in si ustvarijo nov začetek. Glavni namen diplomskega dela je bil predstaviti in raziskati posttravmatsko stresno motnjo preko spoznanj strokovnjakov, ki se pri svojem delu srečujejo z osebami s posttravmatsko stresno motnjo. Pri tem sem uporabila kvalitativno metodo raziskovanja s tehniko intervjuja. Rezultate sem zbrala z intervjuji treh strokovnjakov različnih profilov, ki delajo kot psihoterapevti. Analiza rezultatov je pokazala, da se osebe s posttravmatsko stresno motnjo pogosto soočajo z različnimi zdravstvenimi težavami in doživljajo strah, jezo, krivdo ter imajo težave z zaupanjem. Njihova prepričanja o sebi in svetu so pogosto iracionalna, prav tako pogosta so za njih tvegana vedenja, kot so samopoškodbeno vedenje, motnje hranjenja in zloraba alkohola. Prihajajo iz nefunkcionalnih družin, v katerih so dobili občutek nevrednosti in nepripadnosti. Pogost je strah pred čustveno bližino, zato se izolirajo. Kot močna varovalna dejavnika sta se izkazala podpora socialnega okolja in ljubeča družina, najmočnejši dejavnik tveganja so travme v otroštvu. Medtem ko jim v terapiji najbolj pomaga kakovosten terapevtski odnos, si sami lahko najbolj pomagajo s sprostitvenimi vajami in osredotočenostjo na sedanjost. Strokovnjaki pri osebah s posttravmatsko stresno motnjo opažajo potravmatsko rast, ki se kaže v novi kakovosti in sprejemanju življenja ter menjavi vrednot. Posttravmatska stresna motnja je zelo kompleksna in pomaga tudi pri razumevanju številnih drugih posledic psihične travme ter sporoča, da so vedenja, ki so v očeh drugih negativna, v resnici klic na pomoč.
