Supporting someone through PTSD is its own journey. Here’s where to start.
PTSD is a brain-based response to traumatic experiences, not a sign of weakness. Understanding how trauma rewires the nervous system helps you respond with patience and compassion.
While your intention may be to help, pressuring someone with PTSD to relive their trauma can be harmful. Let them share at their own pace and in a clinical setting with professional support.
Certain sounds, smells, places, or situations can trigger PTSD symptoms. Understanding and being mindful of these triggers helps create a safer environment at home.
Trailhead offers monthly family education groups via Zoom plus individual family sessions. Understanding how PTSD affects relationships is essential to healing the whole family system.
Secondary traumatic stress is real for family members. Consider your own therapy or support groups. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
Work with your loved one and their treatment team to create a plan for crisis moments — including grounding techniques, emergency contacts, and when to call 988 or 911.
It’s common for someone struggling with PTSD to resist help. Here’s how to navigate that.
