Why Trauma Survivors Become New Agers

Doreen Virtue, who holds MA and BA degrees in Counseling Psychology from Chapman University, as well as an MA degree in Biblical and Theological Studies from Western Seminary, discusses why trauma survivors are attracted to the new age as a dissociative coping mechanism. Unfortunately though, the New Age encourages further dissociations into a fantasy world and spiritual warfare that causes more problems for those with PTSD and CPTSD.
