“Witnessing an event that is dangerous is definitely something that can cause PTSD but also hearing about it from loved ones or loved one’s friends. People who are close to us that we identify with, that are in a risky or dangerous situation could also trigger PTSD,” said Dr. Anat Geva, a clinical psychologist from the HealthONE Behavioral Health and Wellness Center.“We’re thinking of nightmares.
She also says markers of PTSD can be when someone is jumpy or startled if a door creaks, a person jumps or there’s a sudden clap. Dr. Geva said it’s important to make someone with PTSD feel safe and not rush them or push them into a corner. Give them choices. Be sensitive towards the things that make them startle or make them jump but also try not to shame them.
