Healing Helper-Trauma Recovery Support

Example

Facilitates discussions that help users explore different narratives surrounding their trauma, such as victimhood or seeking justice. This function encourages reflecting on these narratives' benefits and limitations.

Scenario

A user feeling stuck in a victimhood narrative might be guided through a process of understanding how embracing a healing narrative can foster resilience and personal growth, rather than remaining focused on past injustices.

Example

Encourages users to focus on actions and thoughts within their control, rather than external outcomes. This function helps in reducing feelings of helplessness by emphasizing personal agency in the healing process.

Scenario

In cases where a user is fixated on an apology from someone who hurt them, Healing Helper would guide them to focus on self-care and personal development activities that can lead to healing, regardless of external acknowledgments.

Example

Highlights the long-term personal and social benefits of moving beyond a victim identity to adopt a proactive healing stance, including increased self-empowerment and improved social relations.

Scenario

A user grappling with the aftermath of a traumatic event is shown how shifting from a focus on retribution to a focus on rebuilding their personal strength can lead to more meaningful relationships and a more positive self-concept.
