In cases where women have been affected by more than one trauma they may be at different stages for each of the traumas. It takes a trained professional with a keen eye to help one get through the grieving process due to PTSD.
acceptanceOnce acceptance of the situation comes, you can move on and "unlearn" some of the unhealthy coping skills you have used to survive. There was nothing wrong with these skills, you needed them.
One of the most common things women will grieve after trauma, is the loss of their life as they knew it, or, a childhood they never had. This is so sad, that a women be robbed of something so basic as a joyous life!
I can't stress enough that women find a GOOD therapist, and psychiatrist to help and guide you. There are a number of different therapies available to help reduce or eliminate the affects of the trauma. Joining a support group for survivors is also very helpful in the healing process.
Until next week
Stay Healthy, Happy and Free.
