Possibly: Some people seem to thrive on upset in their lives, where everything is an exciting crisis. Healing from traumatic experiences is a long-term process. I've had many people wonder what to do with their lives, once pain and suffering no longer dominate their energies. This next phase can be unsettling for a time, maybe even like "withdrawal"! with support, more fulfilling life is possible.
