Abstract
The way people process stressors is critical in determining whether
or not trauma will be experienced.
Some clinical and neuroimaging findings suggest that posttraumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) patients experience difficulty in synthesizing the traumatic
experience in a comprehensive narrative. Religiousness and spirituality
are strongly based on a personal quest for understanding of questions
about life and meaning.
Building narratives based on healthy perspectives may facilitate the
integration of traumatic sensorial fragments in a new cognitive synthesis,
thus working to decrease post traumatic symptoms. Given the potential
effects of spiritual and religious beliefs on coping with traumatic
events, the study of the role of spirituality in fostering resilience
in trauma survivors may advance our understanding of human adaptation
to trauma.
