New hope for trauma victims

Even the word shocks, jars a little. But most of us have some. Who hasn't been in a car accident, a house fire, lost a loved one, been assaulted? Not to mention child abuse, rape, war... These are the adverse life experiences that are supposed to make us stronger. Supposed to - but it's not automatic. We become stronger not merely by having a bad experience, but by mastering it. Some people can accomplish this on their own over time, while others may need months or even years of therapy. The important thing is to face it head on, work through the emotions, and get through it. To the other side, where life is good again.
