Researchers have pointed out the ways in which patients have redefined the terms used to describe their illnesses in ways that affirmed, humanized and dignified their condition.

TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE (TIC) is an approach in the human service field that recognizes the presence of trauma symptoms and acknowledges the role trauma may play in an individual’s life-including service staff.
