Free yourself from Trauma and PTSD
Most of us have experienced some form of trauma event in our lifetime. You might have witnessed a shocking event, suffered a series of losses or have been traumatised in childhood. Trauma has no boundaries. Irrespective of age, gender, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation, anyone can suffer trauma.
Everyone responds to trauma differently. Some people can bounce back from a traumatic event with relative ease and no after-effects. For others, its life changing. Trauma can impact your sense of self and self-worth, how you function (including your ability to hold a job and socialise) and your relationships. Your world view can also potentially shift.
Trauma can lead to a mental health diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With the right support, trauma and PTSD can be overcome.
Some people find it difficult to talk about trauma. They may be embarrassed, fear being judged or excluded or are still living in a trauma provoking situation.
There is nothing abnormal, unusual, or rare about having PTSD and working with mental health professionals toward recovery. It is estimated at 1 in 10 Australians experience PTSD. That’s roughly 2.7 million fellow Australians with similar issues as you. To put this into perspective, around 2.8 million Australians have asthma.
