Trauma Symptoms

This talk will explore how trauma symptoms present in burn survivors and what we can do to manage those. It is appropriate for survivors and loved ones dealing with post trauma symptoms, full blown PTSD, and Complex-PTSD. We will look at the different types of trauma and look for ways to move from being trapped in symptoms to moving toward post traumatic growth.
