1st of the 3: Clarification
To identify and make sense out of the events of one’s life, to provide a factual base for understanding and to clarify what is real and what is not real while being supported to safely express painful feelings and more overtly experience a grieving process.
2nd of the 3: Integration
The process by which one develops the ability to understand their connections and membership to numerous families. The membership within all these family systems and relationships needs to be explored so they can begin to understand who had meaning to them and for whom they had meaning. As a result, a perspective is gained that they belong to more than one family, enhancing feelings of belongingness and permanency.
3rd of the 3: Actualization
The visualization of permanency; the sense of feeling safe and belonging, claiming an identity, and establishing a place within family or other permanent relationship.
1st of the 5: Who am I?
Identity is formulated by ongoing clarification of life experiences in relation to history, culture, and developmental influences.
2nd of the 5: What happened to me?
Loss experiences are recognized and grieved through clarification of the events that have included separations and abuse events.
3rd of the 5: Where and I going?
Attachments with past and current relationships are integrated through the explorations of the meaning of those relationships. Children and youth begin to make decisions about those with whom they want to maintain a relationship and about those with whom they do not, even if contact may be limited by safety concerns. These decisions may change through developmental growth.
4th of the 5: How will I get there?
Repetition of the attachment cycle, with needs being met on a consistent basis in a stable environment, encouraging relationship building.
5th of the 5: When will I know I belong?
When a child/youth feels safe and secure in a relationship and families have claimed the child/youth as a family member, the child/youth eventually feels belongingness with the family.
1st of the 7: Engage
Engage youth and families in activities that explore their lives.
2nd of the 7: Recognize
Recognize that painful feelings are expressed in the behaviours of those who have been traumatized.
3rd of the 7: Listen
Listen and to be present to the expression of all thoughts and feelings.
