In recent years, our experience with war and natural disasters has highlighted the lasting impact of psychological trauma on health and wellbeing. In Africa, where trauma is often under-reported, its effects can be profound. Since 2005, we have developed resonance-based approaches for specific forms of trauma, including those associated with war, genocide, rape, and natural disasters. PC Trauma resonances have since been used in thousands of cases, including in refugee camps and communities affected by events such as tsunamis and earthquakes.

Aid workers, counselors and therapists interested in using PC Resonances for addressing individual or collective forms of trauma can contact ARHF here for a basic guide on using resonance-based approaches.
