Welcome to another edition of Wellbodi. The topic for this edition is more personal. At one point in our lives, going through a traumatic experience or more, is inevitable.
However, responding to these traumatic events comes differently and depending on the individual. Often there are no visible signs, but people may have serious emotional reactions.
This edition of the programme focuses on managing Trauma or shock and what is termed Post Traumatic Shock disorder (PTSD) as it relates to life’s situations which may include sexual assault, family challenges and in the event of death.
Examples of traumatic events include sexual molestation or rape, other serious illness, war, natural disasters, terrorism, witnessing a death, and domestic abuse, among others.
In this edition, we will hear from Evelyn, one of our listeners relieving her traumatic experiences during the death of her mother.
