Understanding PTSD
For those who suffer from PTSD, the memory of their traumatic encounter doesn't fade away with time. Individuals may suffer from severe anxiety, flashbacks, and nightmares that make daily life challenging. Trauma survivors might feel disconnected from others, finding it difficult to trust and establish relationships. These are just the proverbial tip of the iceberg, in reality, the symptoms are far more complex and varied.
The Role of a Trauma-Informed Approach
A trauma-informed approach is a proven way to support individuals with PTSD. By understanding the pervasive impact of trauma, we recognize apparent symptoms and signs and ensure that our actions do not inadvertently re-traumatize the individual. It's not asking "What's wrong with you?" but rather "What happened to you?"
Tip: Trauma-informed care doesn't solely focus on treating the symptoms but understands the circumstances and history that led to these symptoms.
