Only then will proceed to the second phase, the confrontation with the trauma, in which imaginative techniques accompany the patient in his "encounter with fear" and help you to name the horror. In a third stage, accept their own history and the terrible experiences are integrated in the context of life, so the person can aim again and face a positive future. Art therapy and physical exercises of qigong for therapeutic purposes are an important complement to work with inner images.
