- Abstract
Re-experiencing the distressing trauma(s) is a central component-across trauma-focused psychotherapeutic orientations. Various orientations use different interventions to facilitate trauma re-experiencing. Via an in-depth case study, this article describes a military veteran's experience and the benefits of a group-based intervention designed to facilitate re-experiencing through therapeutic enactment. Findings indicated that therapeutic enactment enabled the veteran to vividly re-experience the trauma, reducing trauma-related guilt and maladaptive self-schemas. Theoretical and applied implications are discussed.
