If you want to help a loved one with trauma issues

It can be difficult to know what to say to someone with PTSD. Showing empathy and understanding is crucial. You could say something like:

I understand that you’ve been through something really difficult. I’m here for you, and I want to support you in whatever way I can.”

Avoid asking “why” questions, as they may come across as blaming or pressuring the person to explain themselves when they may not fully understand their feelings.
