How To Help Someone
Suffering From PTSD.
1. Provide social support, Do "normal" things like hobbies and exercise
with your loved one and follow their lead.
2. Be a good listener, Avoid being judgmental, but don't
give easy answers either.
3. Rebuild trust and safety, Make plans and keep them, establish
a routine and minimize stress at home.
4. Anticipate and
manage triggers, Ask them how they've coped in
the past and make a plan together.
5. Deal with volatility and anger, Remain calm and ask how you can help.
Be safe — leave the room or ask for help if necessary.
6. Take care of yourself, Stay healthy, be open with family, friends or a therapist about your own feelings and set boundaries
