Health care workers, whether professional, para-professional or lay persons, are typically trained in various group and individual methods of managing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Community psychology studies show that genuinely caring neighbors can be as effective in managing and healing PTSD, assisting survivors to work through their trauma in less stressful contexts, while providing physical resources such as shelter, food, water. Trauma counselling essentially facilitates traumatized persons re-experiencing their traumas at the same level as the original emotional intensity, noting and reinforcing health anchors, and re-integrating feelings and cognitions, in resiliently adaptive ways.
