Using the Concorde’s Online Library, or other scholarly websites, gather research regarding Phases of Trauma Recovery. Some research shows there are three phases: Safety and Stabilization, Remembrance and Mourning, and Reconnection and Integration. Some research shows Trauma Recovery is more along the lines of the five stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. Through your research, find the phases that you feel best fit your outlook on trauma recovery and then answer the following topics in a coherent essay that is a minimum of three (3) pages, not including a title and/or reference page:
Define each phase of trauma recovery
Provide examples of how someone who has suffered a traumatic event would process through each of your chosen phases
How would you, as a healthcare provider, counsel a patient through each phase of trauma recovery
Explain if a person can ever truly become “whole” again and completely move past their trauma without any lasting effects. Why/why not
