If you are involved in or witness a traumatic event, it is common to experience upsetting, distressing or confusing feelings afterwards. The feelings of distress may not emerge straight away – you may just feel emotionally numb at first. After a while you may develop emotional and physical reactions, such as feeling easily upset or not being able to sleep.
“If your symptoms last, or are very extreme, you may be given a diagnosis of post- traumatic stress disorder.” (Mind)
This course looks at how trauma affects us and the way our bodies react (both physically and psychologically) to protect us. PTSD can be very distressing for the individuals experiencing it and their families and can impact on day-to-day life quite significantly. This course will help you to understand certain behaviours and find out what support is available.
