    S2 E9 Triggering Sights - part one of a 3 part series.

    Triggers can include sights, sounds, smells, or thoughts that remind you of the traumatic event in some way. Some PTSD triggers are obvious, such as seeing a news report of an assault. Others are less clear. I do NOT get paid for the podcast.

    S2 E8 Oversleeping, now? Yep. That's a sign.

    Oversleeping can be a trauma response, such as post-traumatic hypersomnia, which is a symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). People with PTSD may experience hypersomnia, which is when they feel tired even after getting enough sleep.

    S2 E7 Restlessness from trauma? WTH?

    Restlessness can have major consequences, both mentally and physically. Constant stress can make people more susceptible to diseases and disorders, and can lead to poor sleep and daytime functioning. Over time, this tension and stress can cause people to become overworked or even burn out.

  8. S2 E6 Watch Out for Flashbacks!

    S2 E6 Watch Out for Flashbacks!

    Flashbacks are a common way people relive traumatic events. They're not just memories, but intense experiences that make you feel like you're going through the trauma again in the present moment. This can be very upsetting and frightening. Here's a breakdown of flashbacks as a trauma response: Flashbacks are a normal response to trauma, but they can be disruptive and scary. If you're experiencing flashbacks, it's important to seek help from a mental health professional. They can teach you coping mechanisms to manage flashbacks and help you process the trauma.
