ABSTRACT
Recovery from traumatic events is typically a painful and lengthy process. Beyond the insult and injury experienced when the traumatic episode occurs, there are tremendous feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, and self-doubt following in the trauma’s wake. Traumas cause victims to question fundamental assumptions about their own merit, and about the orderliness of the world. This upheaval of emotional bedrock leaves victims yearning to regain a sense of stability and meaning about themselves and the world around them.
