Showing results for "Meaning Making" in Health & Wellness

This miniseries takes you through making meaning out of trauma as presented by David Vest, a Navy veteran, retired homicide detective, doctoral candidate, and trauma therapist. You’ll hear about current research, treatments, and theories about trauma and, most importantly, after the trauma.

Up to 90% of adults in the US will experience one or more traumatic events in their lifetimes. While most who suffer a trauma naturally recover over time, for others difficulties continue, and may lead to full-blown depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance use, anxiety disorders, and other problems that interfere with healthy daily functioning. Making Meaning of Difficult Experiences is a self-guided mental health resource for people who have had potentially traumatic experiences and who wish to work through them independently, outside of a formal therapeutic setting.
