Orban Life Integration and Transformation Models - OLIT
These models are visual aids to help us THINK and UNDERSTAND our reactions to war. The goal is to resolve those reactions, stop the confrontations with past experiences and move on toward 'what's next' in life. By identifying those common responses to trauma that the individual recognizes in her/his personal experience(s), those reactions can be resolved. It is important to recognize that our primary values in life develop our expectations for future experiences. These values may then conflict severely with the reality of actual experiences. The common responses that result from the traumatic event(s) are applied to the models in Step 3. These common responses are found in a separate page of this website. There are also models available for non combat trauma and trauma experienced by children.

"Thank you for sharing and discussing your model about integration, disintegration, and reintegration. This has a big key to my personal recovery. It put things in perspective where all the processes that I'm going through as a recovering warrior started making some logical sense... at least I had a road map. This fresh way of thinking allowed me to break away from trying to get back to that original integration... and start seeing that the path ahead wasn't to go back.... it was to go forward and be a NEW person".
