Oftentimes, experiencing trauma is so overwhelming that the victim loses sight of what is important and meaningful in life. So much time and energy is spent dealing with the negative symptoms, and so much trust is lost, that victims experience significant changes in their beliefs. Whether it is a formerly spiritual person questioning the role of Providence or a returning military veteran realizing his\/her patriotism was callously used by a political system, those who experience trauma often endure a “values vacuum.” Recovery goes much better if the trauma therapist addresses this changed belief system. One of the best ways to do that is to assist victims in clarifying their values and finding passion about life activities in which they can believe. This playlist is meant to illustrate a way forward in that values clarification process.<\/p>\n
