Post Traumatic Stress

People react differently to trauma.
Some of us seem to recover and move on relatively unaffected and some of us take a long time to get over what has happened.

If you have been through a traumatic event you may find yourself haunted by nightmares, anxiety attacks,
shaking and flashbacks to the original event.
This will be frightening.

There are some self-help leaflets around to help you support yourself. This may be all you need at the
moment. A good one is the one below, which can be downloaded and printed off for your own use.

These leaflets are available to download or copy in their entirety.
They were written by staff from Newcastle, North Tyneside & Northumberland NHS Tust The authors should be fully acknowledged in any reproduction and changes must not be made without their permission.
