Post-traumatic stress What is it and what are its symptoms?

Posttraumatic stress:

What is it and what are its symptoms?

When you experience a traumatic episode, it is common for you to feel fear, since this type of emotion is deeply linked to the human reaction to flee or fight against possible danger. We have all been through traumatic situations at some time. Perhaps some have more difficulties than others in recognizing and coping with it, but with the passage of time and proper care, we must be sure that everything will pass.

Nevertheless, if you currently relive in your mind over and over again the event that has generated some emotional discomfort or trauma, and over a period of time (a month or up to a year) you experience symptoms such as: undesirable memories, mood swings, emotional distress, mental dullness, changes in physical reactions, even disturbing dreams, most likely you are living posttraumatic stress that, by not being treated correctly, will affect your ability to carry out your daily activities and your way of relating to other people.

What is post-traumatic stress?

It is a psychiatric disorder that arises after experiencing a terrifying situation. It can affect us all. It does not matter the age, nor the gender. One of the causes of this type of disorder is emotional exhaustion that leads us to the inability to manage intense and persistent emotions, such as depression or anxiety.

If you think you have this type of disease, but have not been through a disturbing situation, there is a possibility that it has been generated in your psyche indirectly. For example, when a relative or friend experienced a traumatic event, and that generated an emotional hook in you.

In this case, Ancestrina recommends you face this condition…

Talking to a healthcare professional

If we recognize that we have a problem and go to a specialist, it is not a shameful act in the least. It would actually be a sensible and courageous action that will give us the necessary tools to handle this situation. There are many professionals with the ability to evaluate us and indicate, depending on the state we are in, the ideal treatment in order to find the inner peace we need.

Supporting ourselves from a loved one

Sometimes we believe that our condition only affects us, but it is not the reality. The simple fact of living with a group of people, be they family, friends or relatives, makes us part of a community and we have an active role within this social nucleus. Thus, they can offer us emotional support and be a source of motivation to overcome this condition as soon as possible.

Dedicating quality time

Investing time in our emotional health has much more value than other perhaps material or personal aspirations. If our body and mind are not working properly, nothing we do will have the result we hope for . In this season of recovery, we need to distract ourselves and engage in modifying thoughts, behaviors, and attitudes that are detrimental to our health.

Doing relaxation therapies, practicing some sport or exercise, having a healthy diet and resting correctly (avoiding mental and physical wear and tear) are necessary actions to promote a better quality of life. To overcome this type of disease, it is necessary that we visit a professional with experience in the area.

Likewise, it is our duty to be constant in the recovery phase, following the instructions indicated to us and complying with therapies and pharmacological treatments if our case warrants it. It is a team effort where we play an active role … And throwing in the towel is not an option.

Medicinal tobacco, used by shamanic communities since ancient times, can support you in your recovery process through meditative, healing and alternative practices.
