PTSD Information

🧠 Understanding Trauma and PTSD

Sometimes things happen to people that are unusually or especially frightening, horrible, or traumatic. For example:

  • A serious accident or fire
  • Physical or sexual assault or abuse
  • An earthquake, flood, or natural disaster
  • War or combat experiences
  • Seeing someone be killed or seriously injured
  • Having a loved one die through homicide or suicide

Having experienced one of these things does not mean that you have PTSD.

However, if after a traumatic event you have:

  • Nightmares about the event
  • Thoughts about the events when you do not want to
  • Tried hard not to think about the events
  • Gone out of your way to avoid situations that remind you of the events
  • Been constantly on guard, watchful, or easily startled
  • Felt numb or detached from people, activities, or your surroundings
  • Felt guilty or unable to stop blaming yourself or others for the events

You may be suffering from PTSD, in which case you need to seek the help of a trauma-trained therapist or health professional with a background in trauma.

āš ļø Important Safety Notice

Do not use this app without the guidance of a trauma-trained mental health professional.

If you are working with a trauma therapist, they can guide you through using this tool safely as part of your treatment.
