Post Traumatic Tax Season Stress What Advice Would You Give To Someone Living With Post Traumatic Stress?

What advice would you give to someone living with post traumatic stress? - post traumatic tax season stress

My mother went through a lot of stress and traumatic events of his life. She seemed fine, but now he is a suspect with PTSD. (I live in another country, but will return next year, when the term of my service has expired.) I'm here on vacation, to be with her. I realized that his nerves seem to be constantly on the edge, vulnerable, forgetful excited. She said she knows she has PTSD, but she refuses to go on medication, and not trusted advisors.
So, what can I do about my mother relaxed, more calm and help in this situation?

Thank you.

It would be of great benefit from professional help to treat this disease. I had and did not even know the first place. Now I am always honest advice and I think I can live without it. It helps me with my emotions and all day to talk about what has happened to resolve, it is very difficult and painful.

You can also participate in conversation with people in trauma, and so you understand what to do and how to deal with it.

You can not. She did not improve. That is the crux. She knows she needs medication and counseling and she refused. So that's it. If you really want to feel better, I would be all he had to do to get there.

It is quite common that people who are like your mother (I was) the same way and have nothing to drink, to their misery become addicted. Her mother does not remember what it was before the trauma - it is so accustomed to the pain. There is also a great fear of the consultation. Drudge you all these things from the past, and while still in your head - you talk to anyone else feel that it happens again. Be kind and understanding. Bring your pleasure if you can.

PTSD is, one can not learn in a day or even a month. It is a very debilitating disease, and it really needs is a kind of therapy. Of all that you have received in his office, it seems that they may suffer from severe anxiety. Unfortunately, though not always ready and willing to accept help, then there is nothing you can do, but show their love. Go to the hobby as to promote visits to friends and other positive activities. Try to think that the visit of other consultants and therapists. Probably not trust them, because they are someone who is really open and have found a connection. Good luck!

They need counseling. Perhaps you and your advisor may have to go shopping while you're there. or perhaps you will find a support group. everything you can not. If you do this, you may not have a mother back home next year.
