Specializes in Psychiatry

Many different thing: can trigger Post traumatic symptoms (smells, sounds, people, places, events). Once the symptoms occur it can feel like a fast moving locomotive. Try not to be fearful. You survived the actual events - so you can survive the memories. I encourage you to work with a therapist who has expertise in PTSD. Take care.
