What is post-trauma and how does it affect?

in #ptsd5 years ago

On the one hand, many of us use the term post-trauma to describe phenomena of repression, explains Prof. Moshe Kotler, and on the other hand, not many are aware of the precise definition of this disorder. In principle, this phenomenon stems from the fact that when we are exposed Moshe Kotlerto difficult events, it is sometimes difficult for the soul to digest the difficult emotions. In this situation, we go into a state of repression. But post-traumatic stress disorder is not only about repression! There is a second phenomenon called "infiltration". In this situation, we are actually continuing to experience these difficult events, while at the same time trying to deny them. This deadly circle is post-trauma. Professor Moshe Kotler treated many patients who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.

What are the signs of the phenomenon?
General Avoidance - Generally speaking, post-trauma can include avoidance behavior. Note that avoidance can be directly related to the difficult events experienced by the person but not necessarily. Thus, for example, since the trauma included strong emotions that are trying to deny them, a person with post-trauma may even be alienated from his feelings in general, behave with exaggerated indifference and empathy towards others, lose social connections, and more.

Extreme arousal - Studies have shown that people with post-traumatic stress disorder experienced extreme and extreme arousal. Among other things, a heightened awareness of noise, extreme difficulty in falling asleep at night, and concurrently increased anger and anger, many difficulties in maintaining concentration, and panic whenever there is a loud and unfamiliar noise.

Penetration - As mentioned, the person will experience the trauma events again and again, even if not in a poetic way. Many times the events return in dreams. Sometimes a person will behave in reality as if the event is happening to him again, and can also express genuine distress.

Be aware of the phenomenon
Prof. Moshe Kotler concludes that post-trauma is not a phenomenon that should be taken lightly. This is a phenomenon that is very difficult for those who are afflicted with it, and should be aware of this disorder, and treat it accordingly and refer the person to professional care.
