The testimony method was found to be an effective tool for helping a group of humanitarian aid workers, injured in a bomb blast and undergoing treatment in a medical facility in the first few days following the event, to begin to access and process traumatic memories. The testimony method provided a safe structure to recall the traumatic event, while assisting in the reconstruction of the traumatic memories and associated emotions, and offered an acceptable motivation to do so. The testimonies proved to be of further use to family members and colleagues of those directly affected by the blast.
