Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event - either experiencing it or witnessing it. In this episode, Ingrid shares her own personal journey & experience with PTSD & and explains some of the common symptoms.
We also discuss the role of the support system around the person living with PTSD. It can feel helpless watching a loved one suffer, not knowing what to do. Ingrid breaks down some of the ways to help, & some of the things to avoid.
This episode is raw, open, & honest, & we hope it gives help & hope to anyone dealing with the condition - personally or supporting a loved one.
We are not health care professionals. All suggestions & ideas are given from a personal perspective - not a professional one.
