Abstract

People who suffer from post traumatic stress are usually reluctant to ask for any kind of help, except for
psychotherapy. Recovery will be based on the survivor empowerment and the healing of his new connections,
since this recovery can only happen in the context of relationships and not in isolation. His renewed connections
with the medium will allow him to recreate the damaged or deformed psychological faculties caused by traumatic
experience and to recover his basic capacities such as trust, autonomy, initiative, competence, identity and
intimacy.
