CBT is a very solution-oriented approach that teaches patients how to develop coping strategies to correct flawed interpretations of their environment or redirect ineffective thought patterns so they can respond more effectively to their circumstances.
Here's a scenario;
an individual in the crowd with friends there is physically unharmed. However two friends were killed, and seven others experienced a range of injuries from gunshot wounds.
The individual sees a real need to help and volunteers at a service organization that is helping injured survivors of the attack with grocery shopping, help making Dr appts, laundry, housekeeping, and just being there to listen if need be. More motivation for volunteering is that they are considered one of the 'lucky ones' by folks who weren't there.
Does volunteering seem like a bad idea? Some folks might actually thrive in this, as folks that are accepting the help improve it would be rewarding and that the effects of the attack are being ameliorated. I'm thinking however, other people will need to be screened out, this is a high stress, long term endeavor, and the internal resources to handle this might simply not be present in the individual.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
