Fears are still present, and at times the experience is almost overwhelming, but when the resources of the Troops are called into play, they are able to overcome those fears and go on. The energy that has led them toward life and empowered them to survive, and then begin to thrive, will be a major asset in their decision to confront life and explore relationships. Trust will remain an issue for the Troops, but for good reasons. A positive note is that they are no longer as often paralyzed by their fears of others.
