Many civilians may also experience events that produce a paralyzing effect through trauma on the figurative battlefield. Religious Existential Counseling allows a person to witness the effect of trauma on the personal belief system in which a triggered emotional response leads into a behavior, which may affect a person’s identity, their inner world and belief system. The inner world harbors many aspects of the identity, but one in particular is the belief system. The fact in which a person may disengage from the social world by a triggered emotional response, may lead into a change of behavior, affecting one’s identity, or even the core belief system. The belief system empowers a person to do many things such as minimize the effect of trauma, find meaning and purpose, and prepare for future trauma with self-confidence. The belief system interprets the signals of the core and translates them into the behavioral patterns. Behaviorally, the belief system acts as it has been taught, influenced, or inspired by its predecessor parts of the identity and core. Evidence for this research presupposes that a reaction point, in which a person may acknowledge the response of the disengagement, may be identified and addressed prior to an effect to minimize the consequences. The behavior that ensues from any effect can be validated and normalized through discovery of the recognition of the limitation and acceptance in which a person has the option of self-care or professional counseling. If this person does not identify the disengagement trigger, or validate the response to the stimulus, the negative behavior will manifest and affect a person’s ability to choose. This ultimately affects the internal dimensions of the identity and distresses the spiritual world, or soul. A person can experience stress so intense that the core of their being is traumatized to their spiritual core. The spiritual core of the identity, exercised in the physical expression in a religious relationship to God, is the refuge and strength that is available. The three concepts that have been proven through research to have an influence on trauma as one enters into spiritual fellowship with other like-believers, finding meaning and purpose in life through this fellowship, which creates an ongoing relationship with God. Whether a person can determine the location of the spiritual part of his or her identity, does not negate the fact that everyone is spiritual. Each person worships something in life. It is the spiritual core that focuses on a relationship with God, a higher power, that can provide that resilience and prevention of the sustained trauma on a literal or figurative battlefield.
