MSSN Podcast Episode 9 – PTSD & Injury

For some workers with injury, PTSD (or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) plays a dominant part.

In today’s episode we are joined by MSSN member Alex in conversation with MSSN Founder, Dr Caroline Howe.

Episode Summary: In this episode MSSN Members discuss PTSD and how to manage their recovery pathway from stuck and anxious to understanding how to tame the beast that PTSD can become.

Guests: Alex & MSSN Members

Host: Abe

The Mayo Clinic in the U.S. describes PTSD thus: “The condition may last months or years, with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions. Symptoms may include nightmares or flashbacks, avoidance of situations that bring back the trauma, heightened reactivity to stimuli, anxiety or depressed mood.”

Through sharing, this information we hope to give encouragement and inspiration to those going through a tough time as they recover from a workplace injury.
