Why rethinking PTSD can change everything | Charlie Webster | TEDxNHS

[@PTSDThroughtheDarkness]

You are so right, so often society focuses on what we survived...and forgets that the battle is just beginning. Well-informed survivors are trauma's worst nightmare. Survivors need to talk. Society needs to listen.

We need to remember that it's not just the child who acts out and needs attention. We need to watch for the quiet people-pleasers in the classroom as well. They're often hiding deep trauma

I survived a 2 story fall, and like her was in intensive care after fracturing 10 bones including my spine and a collapsed lung etc. I had to learn to walk again and am now disabled and can only walk short distances. I, like her had good care, but not one doctor or nurse recognised that trauma I was going through and there was even one doctor who wrote in my journal while I was in intensive care, ''she thinks she is in a crisis''. I had flashbacks, almost daily violent nightmares, I woke up each morning with an empty feeling of not seeing the point of life. I was filled with shame and negative thoughts. Like her my ptsd, almost 3 years later is a lot better but I still get rage from time to time. Not a single doctor or nurse recognised that I was going through ptsd. And from time to time I still deal with brain fog/dissociation.

We don't need to hear that there's "hope". We need to know that there are evidence-backed plans for recovery and the support to help to understand our own minds.

After struggling with PTSD for almost forty YEARS, I am now determined to face my trauma and rise above it. I dream of being able to help others as you are with your wonderful talk. Thank you.

I am 52 year old man. I still cry like a baby, esp. when no one around. This year I cry almost evey day sometimes two to three time a day. When I was 8 or 9, I startet to show some symptoms already. I have overcome too many obstacles in my life, but I am continue to fight this Ptsd.

[@etkruzan2933]

​@@jetd6764 I wish you a very Merry Christmas. Even though it's a "Covid kind of Christmas", I hope you find reason to smile and LOVE yourself.

Consider EMDR therapy

[@elizabethrhodes6089]

As a person who also survived a medical emergency, thank you, thank you, thank you for shining a light on the psychological ramifications of surviving critical illness. They're both profound and under recognized. Yours is a very needed message. I applaud you.

I know it’s a older video but I have to say this video is so ON POINT !!!! USMC veteran and I can tell you for sure this is the best way I have ever heard PTSD explained . I could never put it into words. I guess that’s why this video made me cry so much. I was thinking YES YES THATS IT!! Thank you for sharing this with the world

[@uniqueone2731]

Not only can it kill you. You need too ask how long until it does 11:20

[@pekolucky]

Anything that remotely resembles or reminds the person of the original trauma can trigger an effect.

[@cherry19821]

I feel you, i deeply understand you. i am crying with you when i listen to this.

[@sarahskicks]

This is so so relatable. Thanks for sharing.

[@wrenwoodgrove1348]

Very graphic representation of PTSD. I could definitely feel the truth of it in your presentation. I think though that it is even more prevalent than what you say. We need compassionate societies. Unfortunately, that is not what we are currently getting in the U.S. Well done. ❤ Thank you!

[@davidhellard2769]

Such a good talk Charlie and completely new topic to me, so really important to understand

[@Nathaliann]

Bravo ... thank you.

[@uniqueone2731]

I have a question. I really hope you might see this and answer . I was working on a mower and it blew up into flams a friend was screaming trying to push it out of the shop I froze crying. It wasn’t the fired or the heat . The smell of burning oil took me deep in myself and I froze

[@persevere6326]

Dear Charlie, please do yourself a favor and read Dianetics Modern Science of Mental Health.

[@frankkahler1431]

On KZbin, "Is CBD being suppressed"!! Listen to what CBD oil did for my severly afflicted children!!!

[@leighsimpkins2523]

Quick to say she was sexualy abused but she still hasn't got around to reporting it to the police 🤔

[@persevere6326]

.... how do you know that she didn’t report it to the police? Wondering if I missed something in her presentation

[@jasontetra3924]

I didn't know that PTSD affects your sense of dress Charley what on Earth have you got on.

[@garsm2290]

It's all part of the publicity.

[@SDeaneMalaney]

+jason tetra: So I take it your goal in life is not to uplift people and make them feel better about themselves? What is the payoff for you?

[@irelandlynn2454]

Pretty sure it’s called a Kim-oh-no!
