One thing we often notice is that while people are aware of more commonly discussed symptoms like flashbacks or nightmares, many are surprised when their trauma presents in different ways—especially through physical, somatic symptoms.
In last week’s blog we looked at what learned helplessness is and how to understand it. This week we’re looking at the impact of learned helplessness and more importantly how you can respond to it.
