Recognizing PTSD in a loved one can be challenging, as symptoms might not always be obvious.

However, common indicators include mood swings, emotional outbursts, social withdrawal, and increased anxiety or fear in response to triggers.

Also persistent feelings of fear, anger, or guilt or so-called “hypervigilance” (feeling constantly “on edge”) might indicate a trauma response.

It’s essential to seek professional help if these signs persist.


Educate yourself about trauma & PTSD, offer your help if they are ready – not before.

Heal all trauma bonds and do not dive into the world of emotional and/or physical pain with them.

Set healthy, living & respectful boundries.
