Traumatic stress is found in many competent, healthy, strong, good people.
No one can completely protect themselves from traumatic experiences.
Many people have long-lasting problems following exposure to trauma.
Up to 8% of persons will have PTSD at some time in their lives. People who
react to traumas are not going crazy. What is happening to them is
part of a set of common symptoms and problems that are connected with being
in a traumatic situation, and thus, is a normal reaction to abnormal events
and experiences. Having symptoms after a traumatic event is
NOT a sign of personal weakness. Given exposure to a trauma that is
bad enough, probably all people would develop PTSD.
By understanding trauma
symptoms better, a person can become less fearful of them and better able to
manage them. By recognizing the effects of trauma and knowing more about
symptoms, a person will be better able to decide about getting treatment.
