What's the best way to deal with trauma?

[ronadelarosa]

I learned a lot from this episode. There are life's experiences wherein we need to consult psychotherapist and counsellor.

[bonniegilbert]

it can be incredibly frustrating and anxiety-provoking to witness a child who is suffering emotionally without the tools to help them

[beverleysmith]

We know that traumatic experiences can trigger both mental and physical health issues in adulthood.

life-changing and leave lasting impressions in your mind.

[dbhorion]

Our previous worldview in which the world and our place in it were things we understood has been shattered by illness, and our perception of safety has been altered irrevocably

[alicegarcia]

Audio is quite poor but good episode overall.

[mikaelamilstone]

Learn to recognize the symptoms and how psychotherapy can help.

Also can affect adherence to medical treatment, as people who use avoidance tactics to manage PTSD symptoms are less likely to take their medication, implement lifestyle changes, and see their doctors for follow-up visits

[rowenadelarosa]

the trigger for these symptoms is not a one-time event that occurred in the past; rather, chronic disease is an ongoing threat to safety.

[shairaramos]

We need to be careful with our words and actions to avoid triggering of the traumas.

[JhomarCandidier-hy]

Thank you for addressing such an important topic! 🌼 It’s eye-opening to see how trauma can impact chronic conditions. Your insights and personal stories really highlight the need for holistic healing. This conversation is so valuable for those navigating both trauma and health challenges. 💖

[annalynsantos]

For others, particularly those with developmental trauma, this will be more difficult.

[laurelgibbins]

traumatic experiences can trigger both mental and physical health issues

[christophemahoney]

Could intense trauma actually be one of the root causes of chronic illnesses such as heart disease and cancer?

[joanvergara]

We know that health consequences of PTSD include diminished mental and physical quality of life.

[joanvergara]

Its estimated that 12 to 25 percent of people who experience life-threatening illness develop medically-induced PTSD.
