Signs of PTSD from medical trauma include persistent fear of hospitals, panic attacks during medical visits, nightmares about past procedures, and emotional detachment. Medical trauma symptoms and signs can also involve hypervigilance, irritability, avoidance of necessary care, and distrust of healthcare providers. Some people may experience physical symptoms like racing heart, nausea, or dizziness when reminded of their trauma. Others might struggle with depression, anxiety, or feelings of helplessness related to their medical experiences. PTSD from medical trauma can develop after surgeries, ICU stays, childbirth complications, invasive procedures, or medical negligence. Recognizing the signs of PTSD and medical trauma symptoms early can help prevent long-term emotional suffering. Treatment often includes trauma-focused therapy, EMDR, or somatic therapies designed to help the body and mind heal from overwhelming experiences. Understanding that medical trauma is real and valid is the first step toward recovery. 00:00 Intro 00:47 What is medical trauma (medical PTSD)? 02:45 What causes medical trauma? 06:10 Signs of PTSD from medical trauma 08:03 Medical PTSD triggers: when safe care feels unsafe 09:33 Medical trauma: when your body becomes the trigger 12:06 Healing from medical trauma: therapy that helps 12:51 How talk therapy helps with medical trauma 13:55 Somatic therapy for medical PTSD: healing through the body 17:37 Exposure therapy for medical trauma: facing triggers safely 20:04 Preventing medical trauma: how to reduce the Risk of PTSD 21:38 Trusting your body: self-advocacy to prevent medical trauma 22:45 Hope for healing from medical trauma Looking for affordable online counseling?

In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction. And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/c...
