Trauma recovery is a major problem in our society that does not receive the attention, funding, research or priority it deserves. The effects of unresolved trauma make a major contribution to many societal problems
—Dr. Colin Ross
The Trauma Recovery Program encourages effective living in the present rather than recovery of repressed memories. Healing occurs by processing and integrating feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Current research indicates that memory recall is, at best, unreliable; healing does not take place at the level of memories.
Treatment Goals of the Trauma Model
The treatment goal of the Trauma Recovery Program is to help individuals improve their functioning by helping them to stabilize, using new tools learned in the group setting. This model helps group members identify conflicts and unlearn specific distortions related to the effects of trauma. Participants move toward the ultimate healing of interpersonal forgiveness and grief for the childhood they never had.
This model focuses on exercise that fosters the development of self-awareness and processes the trauma on a feeling level with an emphasis on regulating those feelings. The model also teaches the importance of learning about the effects of trauma and why it continues. Finally, the program can be adapted for a religious context to include prayer.
