Secondary PTSD (PTSD Awareness Month)

Did you know that trauma does not have to directly happen to you for you to feel symptoms that are similar to PTSD? That trauma can come from caring for, hearing about, or witnessing the intense suffering of others. Symptoms may look like having rumination’s of the event suffered by others, you may feel inadequate and unable to help, sleep problems and always on the lookout, anxiety, and re-experiencing personal trauma. How can you protect yourself? By practicing self-care ✨
