Are My Post-traumatic Stress Symptoms Normal? PTSD
Показать описание
Are my symptoms normal? The quick answer is "IT DEPENDS." One could argue that many or all of the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are NORMAL responses to a TRAUMA.
TRAUMAS are trick memories because they often hold a lot of weight and pain, but they are also memories that we try to forget. Our BRAINS desperately want to process these memories so we can heal from them. HOWEVER, many times that is the LAST thing someone wants to do. Often what happens is we try to AVOID feeling emotions connected to the trauma, think about the trauma and AVOID external triggers (e.g certain people, places, conversations) that remind us of the TRAUMA. While this behavior makes perfect sense, it also slows down of stops the BRAIN from being able to process the TRAUMA and as a result SYMPTOMS persist.
