Yes, that is what I needed too. In my own scenario that led to post traumatic stress, I was so overwhelmed and literally crashed with a stress breakdown. Unfortunately, the treatment I received only added to the traumatic stress. Often those that are the worst can be one's own family members too.
Society has the idea that we are suppose to "just" get over something that is traumatic. Well, the reality is "we often don't" and should not be treated as though we are wrong or weak somehow when we are experiencing something that is actually a "normal human response" to experiencing something traumatic.
