Supporting someone through trauma recovery requires patience and understanding. Here’s where to start.
Trauma changes the brain and nervous system. Understanding trauma responses — fight, flight, freeze, and fawn — helps you respond with empathy rather than frustration.
Trauma recovery is not linear. Your loved one may have good days and setbacks. Patience and consistent support make a difference even when progress seems slow.
Trauma survivors need to feel in control. Don’t push them to talk about their experiences before they’re ready. Let them set the pace for sharing and healing.
Trailhead offers monthly family education groups via Zoom plus individual family sessions. Understanding how trauma affects the whole family is essential to healing.
Secondary trauma is real. Supporting someone through trauma can take a toll on your own mental health. Consider individual therapy or support groups for caregivers.
Hypervigilance, emotional withdrawal, and avoidance are trauma responses, not personal choices. Understanding this helps you respond with compassion instead of taking it personally.
It’s common for trauma survivors to avoid treatment due to fear, shame, or distrust. Here’s how to navigate that.
