What is Post Traumatic Stress ?
Post-traumatic stress can develop after a severe trauma, such as a robbery, assault, abuse, car crash etc. People tend to have recurrent thoughts or dreams about the traumatic event, and can become very distressed when they are exposed to reminders of the event. They often avoid people, places and situations associated with the trauma, and sometimes withdraw into themselves. Trust can become an issue and they may show signs of excessive physical and mental awareness which in turn can result in a change to their normal sleeping patterns.
Some of the symptoms suffered can become very unpleasant and restrictive. Some people may experience chest pains, heart palpitations, breathlessness, shaking, numbness or tingling sensations, nausea, indigestion, muscular pains, headaches, migraines, dizziness, blurred vision, fatigue, restlessness, on edge, tension and insomnia. If you have repeated experiences of any of the above it is wise to visit your GP before seeing a therapist, left unchecked some of the symptoms mentioned could be very damaging to your long-term health and well being.
