PTSD COUNSELING
The goal of crisis counseling is healthy adjustment, or rather the avoidance of dysfunctional maladjustment. Emotionally healthy individuals avoid suicide, homicide, deliberate self-harm, sexual harassment, unprofessional relationships, domestic violence, substance abuse, and other moral failures. Moral distress can trigger posttraumatic symptoms. Regardless, traumatized individuals can make meaningful clinical improvements, or minimal important changes, on a therapeutic journey that celebrates posttraumatic growth.
Dr. Robertson has summarized the current clinical research regarding the diagnosis and treatment of posttraumatic symptoms. He concludes that moral distress can trigger the onset of posttraumatic symptoms, that positive religious coping clearly enhances resiliency, and that traumatized individuals can make meaningful clinical improvements, or minimal important changes, on a therapeutic journey that celebrates posttraumatic growth.
